[frers-list]Drop rudder

[frers-list@lists.frers33.com]

Bill, the rudder should drop out fairly easy once you remove the quadrant. B=
e sure to lubricate the bolts for the quadrant and steering cables so the th=
reads do not gall up when you remove them if they are corroded. Keep somethi=
ng about 6 " under the rudder so it can only drop that far . Remove the uppe=
r bolt with the pivot wheels and the rudder should come down wiggle it back b=
ack and forth and gravity should let it come down. If not step on the top of=
 the rudder post as someone wiggles it, check for corrosion on the post.

 the rudder won't drop until the key is removed.  It is similar to the one i=

 different as some have made modifications.  You may need to use some pressu=
