Another idea...depending on what boat you have, and saying what boat you had would probably be a good idea, as would saying whether your current rudder was spade, keel-hung, transom hung or skeg-hung... would be to mount gudgeons on the transom, and make up a pintle mount rudder that can be attached to those gudgeons in a relatively quick manner if the need should arise.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
