      After our first night back aboard Cool Change I realized something I forgot to check off my list! Our rudders have three pintle bolts each but the size is not common here not in stainless. 1/2inch is too small and 5/8inch too large! I'm thinking 15mm? Does anyone know the proper size? Thanks Rob Blood

        Rob….Geoff says that there is probably no “proper” size. With the boats being made by so many different manufacturers there may well be differences in the different marks. There may also be wear in the pintles which will also affect the size of the bolts. Geoff's suggestion is to measure the hole and to fit whatever fits the tightest. We currently have an HT 27 here, an on that one there is at least 1/16 inch play in the pintle bolts on that one if that helps. If you decide what you need and can't get it in USA let us know and we can post you some I am sure! Good luck. Cheers
