[quote=the-renovator]What I do is remove the rudder from the casting, I have teased the knots on the rudder lines loose,where the lines terminate inside the rudder. I remove the pivot pin with an 11mm wrench, loosen the 2 knots on the rudder lines and remove the rudders, insert them into their protective covers and stored in my gear-box for transport, the lines are tied together with a simple slip-knot to secure. When I install the rudder, a simple over-hand knot is used when the rudder lines are re-inserted, they loosen easily when needed, sometimes I have to use pliers to coax them loose. Takes me an extra 5 min to install rudders but saves on wear & tear when trailering. I am a trailer-sailor, nearest lake to me is over 1hr driving.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by the-renovator on Jan 17, 2014 - 12:03 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
