What is the recommended toe in for a 1984 Bertram 54 Sportfish?

Mike,

Toe in or out is needed only to keep enough water pressure against the rudder blades to reduce or eliminate chatter throughout the linkages. 1/2" to 3/4" total is sufficent. Length of boat isn't important. See: Bertram 31 Rudders - Wear and Adjustment
