All - wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what they did or do to alleviate the stress to the rudder/quadrant etc. We moor our C&C34 on the Hudson at pier 25 which typically has 3 ft swells rollin in caused by the ferry , cruise line and sightseeing traffic. It is an ideal mooring as we live in downtown Manhattan but the boat she takes a pounding as you can imagine.
We have used a whole manor of techniques to avoid the "chonking" from below, currently we use a bungy chord on the wheel to allow the rudder and qudrant to move and brake slowly. It seems to work, wondering if there are unintended consequences in doing that. Any hep advice very much appreciated. James Montague C&C 34
