[quote=jfricker]Just to summarize/pile on: The cam screw adjusts both rudder rake and release force. The rake part is obvious. The release force changes becuase the angle of the cam screw ramp that holds on the spring loaded bar changes as you screw it in and out. If you screw the cam out (make it stick out more from the rudder), it catches the bar earlier as it rotates down so the ramp has more angle for the spring loaded bar to slide off of it. It you tighten the screw in, the ramp is steeper and harder for the spring loaded bar to slide off of it.
This makes it so you have to balance between rudder rake/weather or lee helm and kick up force.[/quote]
