Don't know when the change occurred (I bet somebody does) but probably in the mid/late 70s the rudder changed from a fixed, 3 point mount with no adjustment (because the rudder under-shot the skeg) to one that didn't undershoot and rode a bronze rod up about a foot. Sounds like you're referring to the rudder on a rod setup, but better clarify. I have an undershot rudder I might part with... t /)) Tom Smith & Jane VanWinkle M17/496 & M17/064 -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces+tsmith=nextit.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of mc Sent: Friday, March 03, 2006 12:10 PM To: montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com Subject: M_Boats: 17 rudder Does anyone have an Montgomery 17 old rudder that they would like to sell. Does not need to be in great shape just fixable to use. I think this boat had a rudder that slides straight up on a long stainless pin and not the kick up type, I could be wrong. _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
