This is a little nit picky.. but when you adjust the rudder pull lines by the turn screws, on one side it wants to twist the loop and tighten the line and on the other side it wants to loosen the line.

So.. I added a stainless steel "captive" washer that wont turn with the screw. I had to fabricate the washer from some old stainless hardware. So far.. it seems to be an improvement. I had been thinking about some micro turnbuckles back there but maybe this will be all I need.

not a bad idea, that drives me nuts as well when they twist while tightening
