I own a pre-1972 rudder system, and it has worked great, with one problem recently.
It is of course designed to come up when it hits the shore, but it has been coming up even while in deep water more recently. When this happens I lose some control with steering, so I think it's a significant problem. I don't really know anything about my rudder, so I'm not sure if I could just tighten something down to help it stay in the water or not.
Any thoughts? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!
