I just replaced the bungees on my 5.7. One departure that I noted on my boat, not my idea but I stayed with it, was to use a 1" hose clamp instead of the hog rings on the upper ends of the bungees. It still allows you to tuck the clamp/bungees into the rudder arm, and will allow some easy adjustment to compensate for stretching down the road.

I have been away from the site for a while but I pitched the bungee/rope BS and put on a set of Inter Rudders on my 5.5 and it is the single best mod I have made to the boat. JMHO. Got most of the stuff used and had to buy one arm and one casting all in about $700 if I remember correctly. Worth it in my opinion. RIchard.
