The starboard rudder doesn't want to lock into it's full, down position. This has created some exciting moments where I'm messing with it, just after sailing off the beach, but not looking where I'm going. Having crew mess with it only disrupts steering. This also produces considerable weather helm, and the other day when I was screaming in double digits, the rudder kept swinging out, due to the drag, making handling even worse, when I needed it most. If it ever stops raining in Houston, I'm going to go out and compare it to the one that works fine. Any suggestions as to what to look for would be appreciated.
