Hi all. So I was beating into a fairly strong wind and current the other day on my 1972 Ericson 27 when I noticed the tiller had developed what I'd call a "notchy" feel when loaded. After returning to the marina I inspected it closer and it felt all right but, when I pulled up on it, the entire rudder moves up about an inch. I don't know how these rudders are secured and am wondering if that is normal or if my rudder is on the verge of falling out!
I'm hauling it out this fall but, it would be nice to know if I could still sail it until September.
