How about...

In Response To: Rudder mounting (Robert Woodard)

Tell me what you guys think of this: I picked up a 1 1/4" dowel today. I'm going to drill a 3/8" hole in the center and epoxy/fiberglass it to the stern of the kayak. Then I'll just drop the rudder pin in the hole, put a washer above and below and a cotter pin on the bottom to hold the rudder in. Think it will be strong enough?
