I see how it works, I set mine up on a longer rod
.. when I raise the rudder the rod raises up too.
Didn't know exactly how the factory designed it,
the rod was missing on my boat when I bought it.
Do you ever have a problem with the top gudgeon mis
aligning with the top of the rod when you lower the rudder?

At this length, there is just enough of a
stub of rudder rod sticking up above the top bracket for the top gudgeon to
slide down on when the rudder is all the way down. When you raise it, the top
gudgeon goes up into space and is not supported. The rudder slides up and down
on the other two. The pins holding the rudder rod in place are located above
the middle bracket and below the bottom bracket, and these hold the rod in
place so it doesn’t slide up and down too.

Hi Howard
If the rod is only
32 1/2" long how do you raise the rudder, 32 1/2" is the approximat distance
between the brackets. 2 spaces at 15 to 16 inches
each.
