Gary, You must be trying to sail up the river from Harrison, or you're going to the south end of the lake, past the new bridge if you need the kickup rudder on your M-Boat. Or are you concerned about the deadhead logs that float around the lake?

I'd put the gas cylinder ( strut) back on the IdaSailor. Mine works great.

I'd like to poll the group on experience with the Unifoil hydraulic kickup rudder. I'm using an Idasailor kickup without the strut, and it's a bear to get back down after it partially retracts from hitting bottom, which is quite a problem when the wind's blowing. Does the Unifoil reset itself after hitting an obstacle? Or do you still have to haul it back down with the control line, like I do now? It's a big investment to make, and I'd like to be sure it's going to be an improvement over what I have now.
Thanks for any information anyone can give,
