GL: Removing a rudder

[Ralph Yost (home)]

After our boat was hauled last month, I removed the rubber from my Defever 
41 trawler. This URL shows the rudder

It was EXTREMELY heavy. Mine attached at the top with 4 bolts. However, the 
rudder had to be turned in order to get the bolts to clear the hull.
I would not do this unless it was in the boat yard.
Best advice is get towed to a travel lift and haul out.
R.
