[Rhodes22-list] Rudder hold down

[Graham Stewart]

Rob:
Thanks for the explanation. Now it makes sense.
I see we both have yellow boats. 
>From your picture it appears that your rudder is hung lower than mine. Of course it is also a somewhat different design so that might explain the apparently different location.

Graham,
I have the same set up.  The "two lines" are actually a big loop.  The line threads through a hole in the forward part of the rudder and up through the "clamp" that keeps the rudder pulled forward when under way.  The top part of the loop gives you something to grab onto and pull upward.  There is a second loop which is usually a blue line that runs through a hole in the aft end of the rudder that allows you to lift the rudder once you undo the clamp.  I usually have to use a boat hook to convince the rudder to move one way or the other. 

Here is a picture previously posted by Rummy.  It shows a single line and not the "two line loop", but it's run the same.  Note the blue line is there just to hold the rudder for transport. - rob

Peter:

Thanks for the photos. That helps a great deal. But why are there two lines? One line keeps the rudder down but what is the other one for?

Graham,

I only had my iPhone with me for a camera when I was on the boat today.  If there's something else you'd like to see, just say the word...
