[quote=texastuma]The stock pins are aluminum, Murray's has them in stock. The stock system is designed to pop the rudder up when you hit something. I have modified mine to a line down system because I got tired of the rudders popping up at 20 knots when I hit fish or cabbage heads. I have a pair of the original P16 rudders and castings when they copied the Hobie ones that need a new home. The horizontal 1/4" bolt that the locking pin hooks into bends over time and needs to be replaced. It's a decent system for bouncing around with. Back on topic.... use a ring ding/split ring/cotter ring or; I use a cotter pin. I don't remove the castings from the transom as I have shimmed the pintle pin to have zero slop. Getting your fingers in there with a ring ding is a pain.
If you have any questions, give me a shout. I've owned Prindles since 1989.[/quote]
