OK I went sailing yesterday...forgot to take a ruler or tape measure but did a biometric measure with my hand (fancy name for using body parts to measure :-) and then put a ruler on it when I got home. So this is approximate but within 1/8 - 1/4 inch I would say. Dimension "A" on my M17 is about 4 1/4 inches (top of transom to top of rudder). The clearance between top of transom and bottom of tiller is about 1 inch. HTH, John On 7/31/23 20:03, tdelacy@wavecable.com wrote:
Hi I am looking for the height of the rudder head stock above the rear transom.
If anyone has a M17 with original rudder set up, I sincerely appreciate if you could provide what I am calling "Dimension A" on my attached sketch.
Backstory: The rudder had a bit of rot which I chased out with thickened epoxy, epoxy primered and marine top side painted. I failed to accurately record the location of the pintle type rudder fixtures. Upon reassembly, I had a few binding issues. I have removed and disassembled the rudder and am working through the binding issues.
If anyone has a sketch of a completed rudder assembly with dimensions I would love a copy.
Thank you,
