Re: M_Boats: M15 kickup rudder

the pintles need to be installed to the rudder cheeks using flathead machine screws. the inside of the rudder cheeks should be beveled so the head of the machine screws is flush and there is room for the pushrod and the rudder to move freely.

to install the pintles you need a phillips head screwdriver that is pent 90-degrees at the tip.

a picture of your rudder/tiller assembly showing the hardware will assist.

Thanks Dave! This is just the information I need. The pintles on my rudder are installed with thru-bolts, not flatheads on each hole. It all makes sense now. Now to find the right screws and that 90 deg. screwdriver. Best Chesley PS Hope to make it to the Annapolis show. Are you going to be there with the Sage?
