Hello Trawler Friends!
As usual, I’m working on something and discover another issue in the process. Or is it an issue at all? I’m dropping my rudder post and in the process of disconnecting the auto helm sensor to my rudder post arm. I loosened one of the screws thinking there was two screws holding it on to the bronze arm. No. Just one screw and possibly 5200 holding it in place. I’m wondering if this was done to prevent having to drill another screw into the arm to prevent a possible failure point or is this just shoddy maintenance?
