[Rhodes22-list] Lee helm

 Thanks Joe,
 I think I found what you're talking about. On my rudder it's two bolts side by side with a plastic "bar" between the two (see attached pictures). I'm guessing the down haul line runs up the center and the wing nut locks the whole thing in place. Thanks again for your help.

 There is a thumb "wheel" on the front vertical face of the rudder. It me be missing, but the female threaded insert should still be in place. When you lift up on the downhaul line, slide them under the shoulder of the wheel, and tighten the wheel to secure the downhaul.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but this topic reminded me that I've been meaning to ask the list about how the rudder down haul is supposed to be rigged.  My boat came to me with no down haul.  There's a small cleat for the up haul (or whatever it's called) but I don't see a comparable cleat for the down haul.  I see the hole in the rudder where the line gets tied, after that, how does this line run?

Thanks, you may now return to your regularly scheduled subject.

Peter
