Rudder Up, Motor Down

Post by fritz3000g »

This seems like an obvious question, but I've yet to see it asked on the forums. I'm starting to save up for a Chrysler 26, and the one thing I can't figure out is how you motor in shallow water with the rudder up and motor down. It seems like the rudder would hit the motor when it's straight.

Thanks!

I prevent this by squeezing the 'down rudder' line in a cam cleat. See picture
