Here are three photo's I took just a few minutes ago. These are the
original mounts that I have seen on every R22 I have ever seen over the years.

Mary Lou is right...this is not original....the original on both of my
boats (84 and 98) are pins about 1/4 diameter that are attached to rudder. The
top one is shorter and slides through both flanges but no attachment. The
bottom one is longer (thus allowing to set bottom pin in before aligning
top pin. Bottom pin has a side spring catch (I don't know what else to call
it) that needs to be lifted to allow removing rudder. This will allow rudder
to come off in an emergency before the transom is ripped off (my theory,
one would need to ask Stan)
I can take some pictures to post (I think I can see this with the boat in
the water) but it will take a few days before I can get to the boat.

>> You do give me pause, though. There is evidence that the PO whacked the
heck out of the stern on something at one time. When I got the boat, one of
the blades of the prop (aluminum) was broken and the impeller of the motor
was full of sand. Makes me wonder if they didn't do something to the
rudder and this was their repair. I don't know if the rudder is too close to the
boat, but the boat does not track correctly. Seems to want to wander to
starboard when she should be pointed forward. - Rob

doesn't look right. It looks almost as if someone cut off the gudgeon.
Does your rudder seem a little close to the boat?
