My new kick-up rudder from Ida Sailor arrived this week. I'm impressed. It fits perfect and the workmanship is top notch. Can't wait for spring to try it out. All I have to do is drill the tiller pivot bolt hole, since I'm using my old tiller. Randy Graves added some pictures of it to his website at http://sailing.gravesfam.us . It has some custom modifications to fit my non-standard gudgeons, and I had the optional releasing jam cleat added, but the basic design will be the same for the standard M17 setup.

Randys pictures sure look good. It just seems the one tension bolt would make it hard for the bottom part to stay horizontal on a good sail. gil ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry E Yake" <leyake@juno.com> To: <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 11:20 PM Subject: M_Boats: M17 Kick-up rudder
