    Replying to:American RL24 pivoting rudder
    We recently bought an RL24 and as you can see in the attached photo there are three bolt holes that are used to affix the rudder to the stainless rudder frame. In the photo I have removed two of the bolts so that the rudder can pivot upwards. Was it designed to do this? I believe so because near the tiller on the stainless frame are two jam cleats that I suspect are intended to hold the rudder raise and lower lines. I would like to convert this rudder back to the pivoting style. Can anyone show me a photo of a pivoting rudder so I can see where/how the raise/lower lines are routed and affixed to the rudder? Thanks! Ernie
