Dealer says Nautique doesn't need rudder pulled, but Tige does?!?

For a DIY'er, I agree 100%, but for dealer/repair shop, they should have a forklift or hoist that would allow them to lift the stern of the boat off the trailer 5-6 inches to gain the needed clearance.

That's exactly what this dealer did. They had straps connected to the aft lifting rings and had the boat suspended over the trailer while working on the rudder and propshaft. They have a hoist system integrated into the shop building roof.

KKO just lifts them with his super man like strength!!!
