dang,, yeah this has always been a part on the TI that has scared me as well. the only time i had rudder issues on the water thankfully i was docked but my rudder line had chaffed itself off and i lost rudder steering control... it would be a very bad day to have that happen 'out there', but as Captain Ron always says "If anythings gonna happen, its gonna happen out there". glad you made it back |

That is an old pin! We made them stronger a few years back and changed the color to grey to tell them apart. It's a fine line from making them strong enough to hold up to a lot of use, but still the weak link in the system so that they break upon an impact. Any new ones you get will be grey, but will be the same shape. Part number 81394001. Everyone, especially Island sailors, should have spare pins available with them. |
