[Rhodes22-list] Need rudder info

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

Elle,

The way my rudder is designed it will only go to horizontal in the up position.

When talking about this subject, I think it's important to underscore how important it is to ensure the rudder is pulled all the way down and forward while underway. This will ensure proper steerage. 

Cheers,
Ted

Also, I do not have the motor/tiller duo....here is a photo but the tide was out too far so I could not board & pull the rudder up to horizontal...maybe tomorrow.

There is something about how the line on the outside of the rudder (the one used to pull it up) that doesn't seem right...but I cannot figure out what is wrong.
