[Rhodes22-list] Another rudder downhaul question

[DCLewis1 at aol.com]

Rory,
 
Clearly prop fouling with a slack line would be a function of how much  slack 
there is in the line.  There can be slack in our line when  the rudder is 
pulled down, but not nearly enough to get to the prop (I  think) - besides I snub 
that line down when the rudder is pulled down so  that the line will not 
float anywhere near the prop.  Our boat will be  hauled this Thurs and I'll 
examine the downhaul arrangement then and get back to  you, my impression is that 
the downhaul that runs inside your rudder stop runs  outside on ours, but I'll 
check.
 
Did you ever resolve your leak issue?
