On my 1974 32' and my 1975 37' I had to remove the linkage to get access to the plastic rudder packing retainer glands cotter pins.

That said, especially if you are in the water :!: :roll:

Once you remove the linkage make sure you have a way of holding onto the rudder, other wise it will torpedo to the bottom of the lake faster than you can say "Oh SH&% :!:
