Hi all

I am about to start looking into my steering gear on my new to me '94 Cat 30 Tall Rig. I am trying to confirm that the radial actually holds the rudder in the boat...??? In other word, if I have to replace the radial I will need to support the rudder so it doesn't fall out. Am I correct?
I am sending you a PM with a link to a web page I created that gives a full writeup with videos and photos on replacing the cable/chain.
