Does anyone know the correct CC part number for the rudder on my '48 Dlx? I have the factory parts list from 1946 which was the first year of production, it shows the rudder part # as 917, the rudder that came with my boat is # 4225. I am thinking that maybe they changed the rudder between '46 & '48.
Appreciate input from anyone that has their original '48 rudder.

The rudder of a 1947 Deluxe Runabout that I am restoring, hull # 666, has a part number of 917. That boat was completed in March of 1947. Hope this helps you. Howard

Send me your complete hull number and I can look it up. In the late 40's to early 50's Chris Craft superseded several models with small rudder shafts to bigger ones.Denis D wrote:Does anyone know the correct CC part number for the rudder on my '48 Dlx?

Re: '48 17 Deluxe rudder
Howard, thanks for that info but your boat is quite a bit earlier.
Jim, My hull number is R17-1191 and was shipped on 1/30/1948. Any info you have would be great. I am thinking maybe they went to a larger rudder?
Thanks,

917 was original. 4225 (IBM#04.22-42253) was the replacement for several models after the 917 and 4783 was discontinued and was specifically specified for hull# 1167 and up.

Greg, That's great info, thank you. It confirms my suspicion that my rudder is original to my boat and represented a part number change.
