Re: Rudder help

John,

Verrrrrrry Interesting....

Looks like what you have there is an old style rudder adapted (and I use the
term loosely) to work in the new style gudgeon. This should be a simple fix.

You can look around for a new or used rudder cheek assembly and fit it to
your existing rudder blade. With a little creative modification to the
tiller tangs you'll be on your way.

How much? New cheeks will run you about $55, used $??.00

Try this dealer for new parts:

.... and by the hull number it looks like you have a 1976 model manufactured
in June - probably it was built in June 1975. I don't know what convention
AMF used for the model year change-over. Many boat companies change over in
August so new model production gets cranked up a month or two in advance of
that. Regardless, your boat is in the new rudder era - only it's missing the
new rudder portion.

Oh, great photos too....,

Wayne
