I think a trip to your boat is warranted. There is usually a pin on the top of the rudder post in the cockpit that stops the rudder post from dropping. First thing is to determine if the entire rudder and post is dropping (good case) and determine why and fix that. If post has not dropped the it may be rudder sliding down the post (bad case)

We were hoping to relaunch in the next week or so...I'll be happy to provide more information if anyone has questions...Thanks! Richard 1985 C&C 37 CB; Ohio River... Richard N.
