[quote=makinmajik]OK, to revisit this issue. I had problems with my rudders releasing while underway and not holding when locked in. Most of the hardware was pretty worn so I desided to replace all of it. I got all the new hardware installed yesterday and now there is less tension than before :-?
I noticed that the new cam bolts, (see kinlawk's pic) were longer than the old ones by about 1/4". With that in play, with the new bolts fully inserted they extended about 1" from the rudder. My question is, which direction does what, ie does extending the bolt increase or decrease the rudder release tension? If I need to screw the bolt in further, I will have to shorten them a bit and that is possible but I don't want to do so unless I need to.[/quote]
