Hi,
Since my purchase 2 months ago, I have replaced a few things. One thing I did this weekend was replace one of the broken cams, now that it is replaced, I notice it is not locking properly because the pin on the upper casting does not fully engage in the cam. I have the old style upper casting, so I do not have an uppper cam adjuster plate. I highlighted on the image below where the gap is. If If I pull on the upper casting towards the front of the boat, I feel the pin going in all the way in the cam.
As a result, when I unlock the rudders, the cam stays locked because there is not enough meat grabbing on the pin.
I figure I have two ways to fix this.
1 - fill in the hole for the upper casting on the rudder and drill a new hole to address the geometry
2 - use JB Weld and and build up the top of the lower casting (see image) so it forces the upper casting forward and locking properly. Downside is that it will reduce the rake on the rudder.
