On my boat, the stops for the steering quadrant are made of what looks like teak or mahogany. On top of the stops there is a cut out. Inside the cut out there is what looks to be a piece of pine??? or other white wood. Attached to that is an angle bracket on which the quadrant stops on.
My question is… does anyone know what the angle is (should be) or the distance from stop to stop.
It just appears that the rudder could be turned a lot further than it is allowed to. I am trying to figure why it is set up like that.alan

Alan,
Not sure about your particular set-up, but in general if you turn a boat’s rudder too far it ceases to be a steering device and instead becomes a brake.
