P
pelican
Hey, this is George Pingeon and Daniel Vizzini from New York City. We own a 1968 Irwin 24 located at the World Fair Marina in Queens, NY. We kept the Pelican in the water this winter and somehow our tiller is pointing backwards, which means that the rudder post is twisted 180 degrees! This means that the framework inside the rudder has probably corroded and broken off the shaft, although miraculously the boat steers pretty well. Anyway, before we take the whole thing apart and reweld the frame, I was wondering if anyone had advice about this kind of operation and this rudder in particular. It's a skeg mounted rudder. I think the rudder post is bronze... Thanks!
