Are you saying the mounting brackets for the rudder assembly is bending at the transom?

yep, doesnt take much to bend it?! am not sure why no one had issues, one small jump landing on your side means the rudder is gone have to bring her back

I have the same set-up and never had an issue with it. Just exactly where is it bending? I know my rudders will kick-up if they hit something but to bend a transom mount is weird, especially with Whobbies gear. Did you try e-mailing Tony @ Whobbies with the problem. He might know the answer......

Bending or twisting in the bracket? Have you done all the screws up tight enough? If it was bending there should be signs of stress on the anodizing which I don't see in your photos.

I had the bracket bend on my Magnum; but it was because I was at WOT and hit a large Gar Fish or Carp and the boat went airborne; vertical; when it came down it hit on the stern at an angle and bent the bracket.

Didn't surprise me it was a heck of a lick; and I had rather have the bracket bend than to rip the transom out.

It has never bent in the normal course of running and maneuvering at speed.

I really dont think the boat is designed to become ariborne and hit on the stern; awful lot of rudder surface area back there to be supported by this bracket at the length of the bracket.

take the center screw out and loctite it
tighten it down pretty good
it will stay

I have a team pro M-5 also and never had the bracket bend, I have hit some wood so hard the rudders were sticking almost straight up. If the bracket has been stressed to a point to bend you will more than likely have to replace them and start over with tighter bolts. Aluminum does not like to be bent over and over, One time will weaken or even break it. I am sure tony will send you some new one's or give great advice. Good Luck !
