Bill; thanks, I do agree with the "collective wisdom" because the rudder was usable... we are delving into it later today...

On my 42, the post is supported at the deck by two bronze rollers (I’ve discussed the design previously). A pin goes through the post and the rollers are held in place with nuts on each end. I had a nut come off several years ago, which nearly caused a catastrophic failure. Inspect the deck fitting.

If so, it may have come off and it slipped down till the quadrant hit the hull.

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.
