Kickup rudder before paint.

CK17 I used eye straps to secure the lines, a jam cleat on the rudder head to secure the line in the up position, and a special jam cleat (releases if you hit something) on the bottom of the tiller to hold the rudder down. There is a gap between the pintalls and the edge of the rudder. I ran the line that holds the rudder down through these gaps, up through a turning block (I could have just used an eye strap) to the special jam cleat.
