Sincere condolences to his family, and a huge "Thank You!" to Gerry from all of us, I'm sure.

Without question, do it.

Especially if the rudder is a little bit under the transom as that is called a balance rudder [as as aeroplanes] and will make you think that the tiller has power steering assist.

And that's a good thing on a long haul.
