In Response To: Re: Rudders (Capt Partick McCrary)

One other thing as an aside to Capt Patrick suggestions, change the lenghth of the set screw. usually the (stock) set screw will sit flush to the collar when you tighten it down, but these set screws rot like crazy (non corrosion proof) so when you go to take it off (when there is a problem) the allen wrench wont go into the set screw hole thats now rotted and stripped , and its a bitch to get off because its flush! If you go longer and leave it "sticking' out of the collar you will allways be able to get on it with a channel lock pliars and twist it out, even if the allen wrench hole is rotted
we all learn the hard way!,,,,,,But not YOU,,,,,,,,,,,,,regards to all, back from florida and hustlin to get in for the june 1st opening of Harpoon season ,,,
