Hi Smiley That wouldn't work. Mainly because the M_15 rudder isn't made by Idasailor. 1. Besides, it Folds AFT, so too trailer the boat with the rudder on would require the rudder blade to stick out aft about 3 feet. Not a good idea. It's too long to leave in the down position. 2. Idasailor doesn't make a mast carrier that attaches to the 15 rudder. They do make a nice set up for the M_17 folding rudder (it folds UP while trailering) That mast carrier assembly bolts fittings on the existing rudder bar (steel) and slides up and out when you launch the boat. 3. On the M_15 remove the rudder and install the rear mast carrier in the Gudgeons; place a cotter pin thru the hole to prevent the mast carrier from jumping out with you hit a Bump in the Road. Fair winds Bob

Anybody have thoughts on this subject and while we are at it is an IDA rudder worth the investment for a M 15? Thanks Smiley
