Hi Tom,
I am told not all rudderposts have a keyway that reaches down the post
far enough. I was lucky; mine did. It may be that you exposed the shaft
further down than I did. I've heard from others that they didn't have a
keyway and had to drill the post and install bolts. Your other choice is
to remove the rudder and have a local machine shop to extend the keyway. I
didn't take C&C's word for it concerning the diameter of the rudder post.
I carefully measured mine and Edson bored it to order.
Best of luck,
Gary
