[Rhodes22-list] Rudder-Engine Conflicts

[Allyn Baskerville]

Being new to the local boat club, I was assigned a slip that can be a challenging getting in and out of. I literally have 2’ to spare backing up and none on the port side. I rely on the engine getting outOf the slip area, though it’s not bad pulling back into the slip. The engine doesn’t turn with the rudder, and I have to be very careful or the prop bangs on the rudder. Depending on the wind, I sometimes have to make some sharp turns.  I need to fix the rudder due to prop damage, but before doing so, does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions for dealing with this? Thanks
