Hi,
I have an 87 model and I would like to clean up the rudder/tiller assembly. I'm not sure what the metal part is called but there is a fair amount of "pitting" or little divots in it that I would like to remove. I tried different cleaners but they just make the pitting show up even more.
Also, I would like to remove the rudder from this metal bracket to paint it but I can't get the pieces that hold it together apart shown by the arrow in the photo. I've whacked with a hammer but after years in saltwater it's fused together.
Can anyone offer any suggestions on these two issues? Thanks
