The following pictures and captions are contributed by Rob Novak regarding his Lazzerete Project.

I have had a few issues with items in the lazzerete interfering with the steering mechanism and the rudder position indicator.  I decided to build two shields to protect the rudder position indicator and keep hoses, lines and boat brushes out of the steering quadrant.

In both cases I used cardboard to fashion a template that I then traced onto 3/8 inch Seaboard that I bough at TAP plastics (http://www.tapplastics.com/shop/product.php?pid=344&).  I cut the Seaboard with a saber saw and used a wood file to take off sharp edges.

Image port-1 - before installation

Image port-2 - attached a small strip of Seaboard to the rudder position indicator bracket (attached by screws from the bottom)

Image port-3 - installed. Attached at the top by 3 screws through the bottom of the manual bilge pump mounting board.

Image starboard-1 - top of the starboard piece. Attached by 4 screws

Image starboard-2 - bottom of the starboard piece. Secured at the bottom by two screws into a strip of Seaboard.
