Actually Bones, CornDog only has two. :-) It did not have the lifting rudder, but came with the original Lyle Hess design which had a stepped forward leading edge that reached under the skeg. Handled great, but eliminated the possibility of raising it. I replaced it with a Ida Sailor years ago and have been very happy with it. (Still just two pintles.)

Tom,

That's odd, my 1976 M17 has three brackets (pintles?) on the transom. So does Larry Yakes. I thought only 2 were on the very early M17's, circa 1974.
