    Ok,

    found a replacement rudder after my original 1981 broke. the holes were already drilled, so i just popped the old one off and bolted the new one in, with 92 cent/4 pack nylon washers from Lowes. The one I replaced seems to sit a bit higher than the original one but it locks up and down just fine.


    any thoughts on adjusting, I don't think I am going to lose any sleep over it and i will keep an eye on the nylon washers................https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-H-C02kD22qM/UAnskUxiAyI/AAAAAAAABb0/4QYTPJsyJvs/s720/IMG_20120720_193838.jpg

    Do they lock down at the same angle? I would guess that re-drilling can be problematic because the new and old holes will likely be very close.

    the new holes over lap most times, you have to fill the old ones
