I've had my rudder off 3 times now (don't ask!). The first time I was
able to get the bolts out with a little struggle but they came apart with no
damage. I put some wood blocks under the rudder so when I took the top collar
off it only dropped down an inch or so . We dropped it the rest of the way
with two of us holding it and taking the blocks out one at a time with 2 guys
it was no problem. We pushed it in and blocked it the same way. My boat is a
76 38' but the project would be about the same call me if you need a hand,
been down this road before.
