I just purchased a 1972 Daysailer II. Everything about the boat is original and in good condition. The rudder has me stumped. Isn't the rudder supposed to pivot for shallow water operation? Mine is stuck in the fully 'down' position. There is only one bolt holding the metal blade into the wooden tiller assembly, and I was going to loosen that to try to free the rudder blade so it could swing. My previous boat had a line attached to the rudder blade so I could lower or raise the rudder, but my Daysailer ruddr doesn't have any lines attached. Am I missing something here? Thanks for the info.
