Bob,

Good point.  My rudder did kick up but the whole assembly probably
popped off from the force of the stern flying up in the air.  Had the
pins been attached I doubt that they would have broken the brackets off
the transom.  Had I been holding onto something I probably wouldn't have
broken it off when I flew up in the air.

Joe,

i have one of each: the clip still works on the bottom pin and there is
a hose clamp on the top pin.  No worries about running aground - the
rudder will release and pop up on its own.
