[Rhodes22-list] Pintell Clip??

[Jeff Timian]

Good day Rhodies,
 
So, it was an interesting day in the inlet. Tide running out, us going in, following sea (2-3) but seemed bigger: rudder comes out of holder, pintell I'm told it's called. I'm holding the rudder, as we try to horse it back to it's given spot, which we're successful in doing.
 
I've had the experience once, which was plenty. What do the more seasoned used to clip the errant board in it's place? As currently set up, all that keeps it in place is gravity, which was superseded by wave action in my case.Jeff
