Joe,
On my 88 model there was a clip that was welded to the hardware that kept  
the pins in. That broke off many years ago and now when I launch the boat I  
simply use a small stainless steel hose clamp to prevent it from coming  
out.

Since I  don't visit the forum too often, I will follow a protocol of faux  
formality.

First: Let me wish everyone a great new year.  

Second: Let me address the reason for my visit:  I'd like to find  out what 
sort 
of device is used on the lower pin of the rudder assembly to  hold it in 
the 
bracket?  When I took the rudder off to winterize, I  realized that there 
was 
nothing there to hold it all in place.  I  can't remember what sort of pin 
or 
clip Elton had me install when he  delivered the boat.  I was going to 
visit the 
hardware store and take  a stab at what seems logical, but a well placed 
inquiry 
with you  "informed" boaters seems like a better first step.

Third: Despite  having retired from police work, shifted to teaching 
college 
English and  moved from PA to NC in July, we have decided to return to the 
land 
of our  roots.  I will be taking the boat from Kerr Lake in NC to a marina 
(yet  
to be determined) on the northern Chesapeake.  NC is very nice, but  it's 
just 
not us.  We found ourselves missing the context of  established history, 
friendships and family more than we  anticipated.  No offense to the good 
folks 
here.  They have been  great.  So, if there are any Rhodies near Elkton or 
Chesapeake City  MD, keep an eye out for me.  And...thanks for your advice 
on the  
rudder matter.  ttfn.

Joe
