Re: M_Boats: A little advice & info please?
M Listers I need to replace my rudder post on a 1993 M 17 and was wondering if anyone had any ideas where I may be able to purchase one or have one made. 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
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? Rik TOMMYVAL@aol.com wrote:

Are you are talking about the steel rod that holds the standard M17 rudder on ? I just bought a 3/8" Dia. rod at Home Depot and cut it to length, about 32" long I think. Drilled some small holes each end for cotter pins to retain it.
