We used a large trolley jack, (industrial size, like for a truck), under the
rudder and once the collar was unscrewed it was "fairly" easy to lower the
rudder to a point where it could be handled.And yes, you and Jim Watts are
correct, its never "easy"...Good luck!

My mechanic discovered he needed a very large pipe wrench to get the collar to
move. It will. It will also get scarred. My rudder was removed and reinstalled,
and none of it was easy.

I have scoured the cncphotoalbum page and could not find any discussion
regarding dropping a rudder on a 35-3. My rudder is draining a lot of rusty
water when on the hard. I found a less used rudder -fresh water- that was
salvaged and would like to replace it. My current rudder also seems to be lower
than it was at the beginning of last season by 1/2 inch.I cannot find a set
screw in the collar on top of the rudder. The collar does not want to turn at
all. I am looking for any tips/instructions.Thank you in advance!
