yes, i think you are correct, rudder pins....
if you plan to remove your rudders for transit... i use ringdings.
if you dont plan to take them off, a cotter pin is the way to go.
PS this pic is a pintle... i think there is a slight difference between it and a rudder pin (as pintels are hardmounted, and usually (not always) have a spring stop built in the rudder casting that secures it)
