Re: Rudder Pintle and Gudgeon Washers

Deb/Dave
Makes sense to me. You may well have a different arrangement.
My Contessa is no. 156, built in 1975; the other was built in 1978.
I have two pins; the other might (?) have three. Can't remember.
But our two boats are a generation older than Dave's and Deb's.

Re: Rudder Pintle and Gudgeon Washers

Thanks Dave,

I'll see what I can uncover (pun intended) next fall when the boat's out.  It would make sense that our boats would be the same given that they're only 6 hulls apart.  If I can remove a plastic cap and press out the pintle that would be (hopefully) easy.  Then I'll likely replace it with the same custom made pin as the other two.
