i need a replacement for the v-block used to secure the pivot rope for the rudder on my cp16. seems to me i read where someone replaced this part with a more substantial block. thanks for any suggestions
Roland,
I had to replace the same on my CP-16 Summer Escape this past summer. I used one of medium size, V-Cleat w/fairlead. i.e. the rope goes through one end of it before the v-cleat or jam cleat. Not sure of where I found it, either West Marine or Defender. They both probably have the same thing.
Oh! almost forgot.... used bigger screws, I used JB Weld (metal) in the holes to make sure the screws wouldn't back out.
Good Luck and chat with you soon,
Doug
thanks doug. look forward to seeing that finished rudder you made. post some pics if you can.
