one thing I forgot to mention, if you grab the rudders and break them free, the cams will pivot up into the ready position, if you grab the tiller arm and break them free, the cams will not pivot and will stay in the lock down position, then you have to use the screw driver lever method of pivoting the cam which ultimately damages the cam. The reason for this is that the lock down lip on the cam is thin enough to flex allowing the tiller arm to break free before the cam rotates, you just learn not to use the tiller arms to try raise your rudders. You have to keep this in mind and carry a small tool to help lever the cams when sailing, sometimes one forgets and uses the tiller arm to raise the rudders.....leaving you with the cams in the lock-down position and no way to lever them up......
Is the proper way to lift up on the rudder itself and not raise it with the arm?
