  The cost of the system uninstalled in the US is about $200
retail.

$200... where did you find such a good deal.  After mulling it over I
decided to have my old rudder taken off and had the Seal Line installed.  I
paid $375 uninstalled.  Maybe I paid too much...  If any of you have one
installed I would like to hear more maintenance tips.  I will spray out the
foot pegs.  My old rudder was a royal pain I couldn't lower it without a
major struggle very user unfriendly.  I don't use it often but when the wind
is blowing it is a welcome addition; I have to go easy on my wrists with
correction strokes. -- MZ

I said I'd ask our local shop what the price would be here -

Rudder $324

Track $324

Those are retail prices. About $130 US each or $260 US for the system 
(minus the trim tab in all cases).

So that makes your $375 US excessive unless you also got the trim tab which 
I don't know the price of.

Note I allowed 40 cents per dollar where as it has actually climbed above 
41 cents US per $NZ1.00 (as if that makes any difference).
