Boat Rudder diagram
So I have recently started to learn about sailing and more about boats and I
am trying to learn all I can about all of the systems on a boat as well as
how to work them. One thing I am looking for is a diagram for a rudder setup.
I get the basic idea. Turn the helm the rudder moves but I am curious to see
how most boats actually do this. Mostly the mechanical type as I am not
entirely familiar with hydralics and i would just get more confused. I also
am interested so that if I am on a boat and one breaks, I can help to fix it.
It doesn't seem that complicated but I would rather see it now then ask
questions when I am on a boat with someone that can answer questions.Thanks

| Mechanical steering is typically accomplished by running a taut cable
across a "steering quadrant". The quadrant is attached to the top of
the rudderpost, and the rudder itself is often supported by a pintle
and (perhaps) at the bottom end by a rudder skeg or "shoe" I googled up this diagram of a steering quadrant, and there may be
other and better examples available. http://louisdl.louislibraries.org/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/HIC&CISOPTR=508&REC=4 |
