You'll see in my album that I had the same break and attempted a repair, having a metal shop replicate the shaft as best they could, but I never got a chance to install it back into the boat so I don't even know if we had the angle right, either!? As I recall, on mine, the break was such that setting the top piece back against the bottom piece made a very clean fit, enough that we were confident it could be replicated, and (again, if memory servers) it resulted in a straight line from the shaft top down to the shoe pin. I think I even stuck a deck brush handle down through the cockpit to confirm this. Tartan or S&S may still have drawings, might be worth attempting to contact an old timer there, if any are still around.

Hi Warren, Thanks, What I need is the angle of the shaft out of the rudder. I had a shaft break, just below the rudder body, and when it was repaired, I think the angle is wrong. I had not seen one off the boat before the break, so I don't know what it's supposed to look like. Thanks again! On Fri, Nov 17, 2023 at 1:03?PM Warren Stein via <wrsteinesq=[email protected]> wrote:
