[quote=jfricker]I've been fiddling with my rudder release mechanism, and frankly, it seems dumb that the adjustment does both release force and steering helm. I have a slight lee helm that I don't like, but the release force is already pretty weak, and will get weaker if extend the cam screw out of the rudder further to get rid of the lee helm. I didn't use a force gauge but I estimate it takes less than 5 lbs pull at the bottom of the rudder to release it, which is less than I like. The cam screw looks fine (not bent), so maybe I'll try grinding the angle on the cam steeper.
What's the release force of your Prindle rudder? What should it be so it doesn't kickup at hig speeds?[/quote]
