Abe(SA) Posted July 11, 2003 Posted July 11, 2003 I'll send this in two parts-inside the lazarette and at the rear of the rudderbox. Everything stays the same until your steeringline reaches the tiller arm-instead of knots I shaped a yoke at the front-shape it round on the inside and the lower lip of the yoke was tapered down and sanded a bit round.The line passes around the yoke from both sides as to wedge the tillerarm betwix the two lines.The small brackets were screwed flush with the top of the tillerarm to help keep the steeringlines as high as possible and prevent them from slipping over the lower lip of the yoke.Remember the lines has to pass on the oposite side of the direction it came from on the tiller arm.If you do not want to make a yoke you can just attach the two brackets but then the line should stay on the same side of the tiller arm. The pulley on each side were placed as near as possible to the transom to help the lines to stay in the yoke.P2 at the rear of the rudderbox. [attachment over 4 years old deleted by admin] Quote
Abe(SA) Posted July 16, 2003 Author Posted July 16, 2003 This one is OK and should actually be viewed first. Quote
T. Nelson Surbrook Posted July 16, 2003 Posted July 16, 2003 Abe, I think this is a pretty good idea and one that will work ok. There are several differant ways to elimate the "u" bolts and I think your design gives another option. Good Idea! Quote
Simon Posted July 17, 2003 Posted July 17, 2003 Hey Abe, enough teasing with close up shots of the stern and rudder mechanism - lets have some pics of the whole boat to drool over..... Quote
