Thanks for the link Steve.  Looks like a KISS solution if I ever saw one, and the price is right too.  While we're on the subject, I would be interested in hearing/seeing what other builders have come up with for locking their rudders.

Mark S.,

 

I bought it from:

2.  Cut the middle prong off and bent the others (using a torch).

 

3.  Drilled holes in the pedals.

 

It's heavier than most of us would want....I'm trying to see if I can design a bracket to clip the prongs on the tow bar.

 

But for now it works and was quick and easy.  I got the idea from another fellow on the list, but I forgot his name...so I can't give credit where credit is due.

Steve,

I take it that your rudder lock is available from Home Depot on the garden implement aisle?  It looks sorta like a two tine pitch fork.  What exactly do we ask for?
