Twist and Stow Rudder Replacement
Use the following instructions to replace your twist and stow rudder. To remove the rudder that is cur-
rently on the boat, bend and pull the cotter pins that are at the bottom of the rudder pin and push the
pin out of the top. There are 4 Phillips head screws which are clamping down the steering and up/down
lines. Partially unscrew them to release the line. Once the lines are free from the rudder, tie a loose
knot at the ends to prevent them from getting pulled into the hull.
Rudder Installation
1. Place the new rudder over the mount at the end of the boat and slide
the rudder pin through to hold it in place. Slide the cotter pins through the
hole and twist them around the pin with a pair of needle nose pliers.
Up/Down Control Line Installation
1. Now that the rudder is on the boat,
you need to disassemble the rudder
blade from the rudder housing. Using a
socket or wrench, unscrew the bolt that
is on the bottom of the rudder. When
the bolt is unthreaded, the rudder with
come off with the bolt and a small plas-
tic washer.
2. To make sure that you can tell
the difference between the up and
down line, put the up down control
handle in the forward position.
Grab a hold of the two up and
down control lines and pull them
taught. You will notice that one line is longer than the other. Start with
the shorter line which is for the down control.
3. Feed the end of the down control line through the two holes at the top
of the rudder housing.
