f33 rudder seperation

Post by dwighttx »

The last storm through Corpus Christi separated my rudder from my f33 swing keel boat. I've about fixed the portion above the water line however I do not know what to expect below the water line.
There appears to be some kind of pin set up, however I'm not sure. Does anyone have any pictures or suggestions

See attached photos of 1982 US built fixed keel( would think the rudder would be attached the same for swing keel since the keel stub is the same but not sure).

This is a picture of a UK built F35 (aka US F33) with lift keel. I think this is identical with the US boat. I can do a closer view in the next few days, if you wish (and the weather clears up a bit). Hope it is of some use.

Regards,

Gerald

Thank you, that's exactly what I needed. Just an idea what to expect.
