Looks like you got her set up pretty nice. All I can add is that you have to get the new enlarged rudder if you haven't yet, it will make handling night and day from how she sits now. Have a ball. |

Just a word of caution if you install the optional, larger rudder......you can't stand the PA up on the back/stern as the rudder hangs down about 1.5" below the hull.......you need to use a couple of block of wood to elevate the stern, to prevent damaging the rudder assembly....Having owned an Outback previously and added the sailing rudder...this change was a very significant improvement, especially if you are using a down rigger. Now that I have a few months under my belt, of using the optional rudder on my PA-14, IMHO it's only a minor improvement.....more of a physiological change as I really did not have any issues of tracking with the original rudder while using my down rigger....on a scale of 1-10, I give it 1.5 or a 15% improvement ![]() |

Good to know SHC. I don't want to try to solve a problem and create another. I retired, if it takes a little longer to turn that 's ok, I'm in no rush. At some point in the future I can see a trailer for hauling the PA-14. I've already started to look around to see what is out there. Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated. |

"If it takes a little longer to turn, that's ok" That is one of the best replies I have seen in years. ![]() Jim |
