[Rhodes22-list] Rudder attachment

[Joe Camp]

Ron:

     Is that pin worn, or is it machined?  The grooves look pretty regular.

However, the fast pin would not go through both holes in the bracket on the boat because the hole on the bottom of the bracket was smaller than the hole at the top so that fast pin could not pass through the entire bracket.  Anyone else have this setup?  Seems a bit odd to me.  My first thought is to enlarge the lower hole so that a longer fast pin would go all the way through, but want to check with you folks first. "
