Hi all, I have a 2008 Getaway with the EZ Loc rudder assembly and wings. When the rudder is fully down and rotated to steer the boat, the tillers will rub against the rear wing supports. By wing support, I'm referring to the aluminum bars that connect to the crossbar and support the wing seat. The rubbing has started to grind into the aluminum wing support. It's bad enough that the wing support sometimes prevents the tiller from rotating (which is not great when you need to turn). I'm puzzled because this seems like an issue that would impact more people, but I've not found anything online about it. When I raise the tiller crossbar slightly to raise rudders, the tillers are far enough away from the wing support that they do not come into contact. So it's only when the rudders are fully down that there is contact.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Any good fixes?
