Re: Stus-List Metal Rod Forward of Keel
May be that you’ve just not seen enough boats… or it might be the region you’re in. In Maine (lobster pots) and the Chesapeake (crab pots and trot lines), and even here in the Carolina sounds you’ll see a similar arrangement on a lot of boats with exposed rudders where the top leading edge of the rudder is not protected by a “cutout” in the shape of the hull. Though, come to think of it, I can’t recall seeing a protective pin on a Hunter or Catalina… probably saves $1.48 in construction costs, and those boats are mostly condos on the water that seldom leave the dock. Oops, sorry, I’m being a C snob and casting aspersions on other peoples “dreams” Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of John McLaughlin via CnC-List Subject: Re: Stus-List Metal Rod Forward of Keel Sorry about the mistake. I meant rudder. The explanation that it is intended to prevent lines from tangling in the rudder slot makes some sense. However, would seem to pale in relation to the danger that a line in that area would have a high likelyhood of tangling in the prop. Interesting that no other make of boat that I have encountered uses this feature. John McLaughlin ___ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.

I have one just head of the rudder...keeps lines from jamming in the space between hull and rudder. Never saw one ahead of keel. David F. Risch, J. D.
