<strong>Hunter</strong> <strong>27</strong> • Underwater Gear<br />
6.2.2 Rudders<br />
Your <strong>Hunter</strong> rudder is constructed with a foam filled<br />
composite blade by hand lay-up connected to an internal<br />
stainless steel grid and rudder stock structure. The rudder<br />
bearings are self lubricating type bearings. Ensure<br />
to inspect the free<br />
and smooth operation<br />
of the rudder<br />
stock and bearings<br />
at regular intervals.<br />

! CAUTION !<br />
Fig. 6.5 shows<br />
you a view at the<br />
rudder under your<br />
boat.<br />
Your steering<br />
system is a very<br />
important part of<br />
your boat and very<br />
important to your<br />
boating safety.<br />
However, all boat<br />
operator’s should<br />
be prepared for<br />
rudder failure or<br />
loss.<br />
An operator must be able to sail without a rudder or<br />
otherwise be prepared to assemble a makeshift rudder.<br />
Important: Look to the Getting Underway Chapter (chapter<br />
12) for information about using your emergency tiller system.<br />
The connections and use are detailed in that section.<br />

Your <strong>Hunter</strong> is equipped with a Danforth type anchorwell<br />
and drain and a Danforth type anchor as standard equipment.<br />

of your boat under normal anchoring conditions, and is<br />
most effective in muddy or sandy bottoms.<br />
Fig. 6.7 will show you the details of the anchoring system<br />
in illustrated detail, showing the plan view.<br />
On the bottom of your boat, you will find skin fittings and<br />
intakes for the supply and discharge to your boat’s various<br />
