We printed up a real size photo of the rudder adapter for a Grumman canoe, then marked some measurements. The adapter is made from T-6 aluminum, with 2 gudgeons that take the 1/4 inch diameter pintle on the rudder. The adapter had a thin rubber pad underneath and attaches to the stern with a bolt through the stern cap bolt hole.
We used our pocket bevel to get the angle off of the stern cap, then marked that onto the pattern.
If anyone is geared up to make a piece like this, drop us a comment. Otherwise we might try making it from fiberglass and two Ronstan gudgeons.
