: The rudder bracket I am building is going to be U shaped and attached to a
: solid block of wood that was made into the stern, with a pin running
: through it from the rudder wing assembly (One Ocean Kayaks kit). I cannot
: find anywhere any dimensions for how far out the tabs should be from the
: back and hole diameter as well as placement. I'm sure there should be some
: sort of specifics to accomodate for clearance and whatnot. What have you
: done?
The pins in my Hobie Cat 16 were 3/8", a highly loaded rudder. I would think a 1/4" Pin would be good. You could get a tang from West Marine, Schaefer 85-26 or 85-24 and bend it to shape and use the existing holes.
