I usually rig the boat, put it in the water, then lean over the transom to set the rudder in the pintels. It is a bit awkward, and I will be interested to read if another M-boater has come up with a better method.

Rig the boat put it in..then climb around the back and do the rudder and pin? Do you guys do something different? Seems beastly at this point...lol Jazz On Jan 10, 2016 7:14 AM, "Thomas Buzzi" <thomaspbuzzi@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi John, My rudder has gudgeons and pintles, not sliding rod. Send me your personal email address and I will send you some pics of the rudder. I don' t seem to be able to post pics on this website. Thanks, Tom B < https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaig...

Hi Tom,
I'd like some pix if you've got some that show it well. The Ruddercraft is way out of my budget...this might be a bit more within it!
Where are you (zip code) for estimating shipping?
Is this the "original" up-down sliding rod rudder from M-17's?
thanks, John S.

To whom it may concern, I have the old style Ida Rudder on my 17 and plan to sell it for their newer version. If a kickup rudder is all you want than that is what this is. It uses a line to raise the bottom half of the rudder, I use it to hold the rudder blade up just a bit when launching and retrieving the boat. Asking $250 plus shipping. I started with the stock wooden rudder and the shape of this Ida rudder really does seem to add to the performance of the boat. Pictures upon request. Fair winds, Tom B <
