Great Price! I just spent over $400 last year for a stock rudder/tiller. I know the Idasailor expands our options but i just love the look of that varnished mahogony rudder. It is important that i remember to raise it at the dock... i don't have the feature that raises the rudder on my craft... must have broken in previous ownership. I have to raise it by hand. I have forgotten a couple times and have pulled out at the ramp and scraped on pavement for yards. Kind of makes you sick to your stomach. Haven't blown this with the new one yet. jeff M17 #336
