I've owned two IS rudders. Mounted one on an early model M17 which I sold with the boat, and bought and use one on my current M17. I don't like the line/cleat system for holding the blade down, but that's my problem; I use the plastic bolt (it's something fancier that plastic, but I can't recall the name...), and I've proven to myself it shears as advertised. I'll use it rather than the other hold-down method. I never trail the boat with rudder attached--I think it unnecessarily stresses the transom. t On Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 6:29 PM, James Poulakis <picfo@comcast.net> wrote:
Good product. Had a very minor issue with the blade being shorter than I wanted and Ida Sailor sent me a new blade at no cost. Best customer service I've ever had for any product - in my life. Buy it.

I'm considering spending the big bucks that Ida Sailor wants for the Monty 17 rudder. Before I do I wanted to ask the group if they thought the product to be a good one. I just purchased M17 #600. She has a wood kick up rudder now and a back up solid one piece rudder (quite an impressive piece of wood!!!).
Looking forward to reading your opinions!
