After getting the rudder port in, I moved on to installing the rudder. This was pretty easy. Had to get some machining done to the shaft for a key way. That was pretty expensive. | |
Then it as just a simple matter of bolting in the top bracket, and then sliding the rudder up into the port. The rudder is offset to one side by about an 1" to allow the prop shaft to be dropped if required without removing the rudder. |
A running commentary on the building of a Glen - L designed runabout. The design is called a Monaco, and is reminiscent of the power boats of the 1920's and 30's. It is a little over 19' and made using the "Cold Moulding" process. This photo shows a Monaco similar to what I am building. This one was built by Rich Coey and is a beautiful example.
