RUDDER AND TILLER CROSS BAR
INSTALLATION (Pre 1987 boats)
1. Disengage the tiller arm from the lower casting and
lock the tiller arm and rudder in the kicked up position.
This will pull the rudder blade up and out of the way so
the rudder pin can be installed.
2. Hold the lower casting up to the transom of the boat
and fit the casting over the gudgeons. Slide the rudder
pin up through the casting and gudgeons with the hole
in the rudder pin closest the bottom. Once the hole in
the pin is above the casting at the lower gudgeon, stop
and insert the cotter key which is packed with the rudder
pins. Bend over the legs of the key to secure it in place.
The rudder can be lowered now. See Figure 29 and 30.
3. To distinguish the port rudder from the starboard
rudder, the port rudder arm will bend toward the center
of the boat when on the port hull.
4. Attach the tiller cross bar to the tiller arm as shown in
figure 31.
