I guess I don't understand what the "rudder post" is. IIRC, is the rudder on an M-17 not transom mounted with pintles and gudgeons?

Bob has contacted the original manufacturer (Thank you Bob!!) to see about getting a replacement but so far has had no luck. Hopefully the manufacturer will come through but I'm starting to get behind the eight ball and would like to see what other options are available. Any and all thoughts are appreciated. Thanks Gary
