[Rhodes22-list] Rudder Pin

[Lowe, Rob]

Lee/Joe,
I too use a hose clamp on the pintle to hold my rudder in place.  If you are afraid of busting the rudder when running aground, a releasing rudder cleat might be worth investing in.  A bit pricey, but I added one to my boat.  Pretty sure Rummy has one too.  The cleat will hold your rudder line in place, but will release if you hit something.
