There's no rush. It's an annoyance only. I have a tiller tamer that takes care of the nighttime noise. It's those windless Wednesday nights following a gusty day where the lake takes a while to settle down. With no pressure against the rudder it flops around and bugs me. I've got larger issues that need attention before I commit to the Gudgeon project. If I can arrange the parts I'll do it next season. I just dropped a boat unit replacing my TuffLuff. Now there's a sore spot. Some guy at the Schaffer factory throws my empty Coke bottles into a machine, pulls a leaver, squirts out 46 feet of extrusion and charges me $400 for the effort. Wow. Now that's a racket!
