Need Help identifying

Post by breeves »

Could someone please help me identify this hanging wire with some sort of plastic piece in the middle. One on each side not connected to anything. In extreme aft of the boat.

That is the rudder stop that limits the rotation. There should be one on port and stbd side.

It's a rubber snubber so the stop is dampened and not a hard stop when the rudder is forced over hard.
