Subject: Control panel cover & water rudder notes
Hi Brent,
Just a quick note to follow up on the post [997] I just made on the control
panel cover that Graham Woodd can make in his Seattle shop.
I've attached a picture of the finished part below.
I would also like to submit some photos of a different water
rudder design that I learned from Scott Devlin. It uses an extra bulkhead to
make the entire pulley area watertight and not worry about snorkel tubes and
such. I will write up a lengthy letter of what I have learned if you want to
post it in the builder's tips area.
Thanks,
John

Note, the additional BH's at the top isolate the control cables and tiller
pulley from the water well.
