Captain
How do I remove a 1974 ericson rudder ? I have tried and it will only comes down about 2 feet and stops like if somethig was holding it.
Thank you for replying.

Tybert,
Is it a tiller or wheel? On my E-27 tiller, I removed the steering head and the SS tiller post slides down and out. Its at an angle. Try lubing it and push it back up to get lube in the tube. Also check for burrs where the steering head bolt goes thru. Is your post bent? I take mine out each winter so it does not freeze . Foss Rudders don't survive a freeze well. My rudder for my E-29 is on the back porch right now. Rod
