Rob,
Just my 2 cents worth. It's the combination of the Rudder and the mounts  
that give the R22 a neutral helm. If the rudder can't extend all the way 
under  the hull as designed, you will have a less than desirable helm.

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.

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

Does your rudder seem a little close to the boat?
