John, it looks like you have the same hardware that I do. So you'll be able to answer a question that's been bothering me.
I see that your gudgeons are set up, from top to bottom, rudder-transom-rudder-transom. I was worried that doing it that way would lead to the rudder riding up, with the tiller grinding against the top of the hole through the transom. So I was going to set mine up rudder-transom-transom-rudder. Am I over-thinking this? Do you find that the rudder rides up, or does it stay in place? Thx.
