Hunter 35.5 Legion Oceanside
The boat uses a radial drive, There is space below the radial drive, but the rudder post appears to have a spacer around it, see attachment? Can the spacer be trimmed so I can install an auto-tiller arm around the rudder post? This not an actual picture of my rudder post, mine has the spacer and also has fiberglass around and half way up the spacer.
