Re: M_Boats: M17 kick-up rudder

larry,  I looked at the picture on the site. Does the knob adjust kick-up 
tension? It looks like with the synth bottom 1/2 it would be less 
maintenance. looks good..

Good news. A high performance kick-up rudder is now available for the
M17.  I had Ida Sailor Marine in Boise, Idaho build one for Tullamore and
they've added it to their product line. You can view it at this link.
http://www.idasailor.com/catalog/default.php
It has a mahogany rudder head to maintain that classic look, with a
balanced, foil shaped HDPE rudder blade. The one pictured has the pintles
mounted to fit my boat, but they'll build to your specifications. Price
seems very reasonable to me. They also make a replacement blade for the
M15 that will bolt directly to your existing rudder head.
It will be a couple months before I can try it out (still winter here),
but I send a report as soon as I do.
Larry
