Hi Bill,

I'm in New Zealand at the moment but will respond when I am back in Halifax n=
ext week.  I redid the rudder a year ago and just removed the pedestal this w=
inter.  Thought it was Edson but it was Yacht Specialities looks similar but=
 very different.  Is you boat in Montreal or Florida.  I would recommend dro=
pping the rudder and have a look.
