Leo Goolden addresses rudder stiffness and galling on the 1910 gaff cutter Tally Ho by removing the rudder to inspect the pintles and gudgeons.0:19 Measurements taken with a string line and digital calipers reveal misalignment in the fore-and-aft dimension, likely caused by hull movement rather than rudder deformation.5:43 To resolve the binding, the team selectively removes material from the bronze pintles rather than enlarging the gudgeon holes, preserving long-term serviceability.10:25 They install UHMW plastic washers between the pintles and gudgeons to reduce friction and plan to use a long-reach grease gun for underwater maintenance.11:03 While the boat is hauled out, the crew also strips and revarnishes the transom and wet-sands the hull to apply new anti-fouling paint.0:47 After an initial failed attempt to remount the rudder due to persistent misalignment, they perform further selective material removal on the pins, resulting in a freely swinging rudder.14:41
