Hi Josh, The fibreglass tube my rudder shaft passes through is continuous from the hull to the floor of the cockpit and so provides no place to mount an arm below deck. I like this arrangement as it results in no opening into the interior of the hull from the rudder tube below deck (except for a couple of grease fittings). Is you rudder tube cut below deck to allow a space to mount the arm?
And so do you have a packing gland on the rudder shaft below deck now? Just curious. Ken H.
