I just did some cleaning and touching up of the TI and decided I may as well swap rudder pins.
The old one was quite worn, and probably getting towards a breaking point. I've had them break for no particular reason before, so better to change them on land before you have to do it on the water.
May the fish be mighty and the seas be meek...

Great advice—thanks for the reminder.

Great reminder!  If your steering feels a little sluggish/tight, it's a good thing to check that pin!
