Looking down on the prop and the stern framing with the "gudgeons" on the rudder post of the Sonja Maersk

Compare this with the photo of the rudder where the "pintals" (or pins) would set into the "gudgeons". The bottom gudgeon would take the load or the weight of the rudder and the top pintal would be keyed in order to keep the rudder from popping out in heavy seas.

other sizes: small medium original auto
