FWIW - I just went out to my side yard and checked were Fireballs stops
are set. Interestingly they are set at 65 deg., a lot more than I
expected since her rudder is two inches longer in girth than a standard
C&C 35 Mk2.

Dennis,
To echo Rob’s concerns regarding the creation of a robust rudder stop,
if the previous iteration utilized two bolts inserted in the steering
chain, I would take a thorough inspection of the pedestal sprocket.
Steel bolts coming into contact with bronze sprocket teeth under load
or at high speed won’t be kind to the teeth. Sprocket and chain
replacement might be advised (unless if your pedestal is made by Morch
or Cinkel in which case you’re out of luck finding a new sprocket).
Adding some heavy rubber bumpers or cushioning shock absorbers on your
new rudder stop plate might allow it to last longer and be kinder to
the new bulkhead as well. A cut up piece of old exhaust hose might do
the trick.
Cheers and best of luck,

And that 36 degrees, in both of my C&Cs (a 27 MKII and my current
37/40+) have been enough to turn the boat in its own boat length
going down a fairway between docks.
More than enough maneuverability in my opinion... :)
Thanks Rob!
