[Rhodes22-list] Rudder-Engine Conflicts

[Allyn Baskerville]

Very interesting... I'll have to track down this linkage - my slip is in really tight quarters, so maneuverability is important. Is it possible to disconnect or disengage the linkage when not in use? Between the motor raising and lowering combined with not needing the linkage or being a hindrance when the motor is raised, these problems seem difficult to overcome. I wouldn't be surprised if these have been addressed, though. Thanks for sharing.

Radiant (ex Opus) came with a linkage between the motor and the rudder.  Both are controlled by the tiller and turn as a unit. It makes a HUGE difference in maneuverability! I think Stan added it during the 2016 refit.
