The projecting lugs of the rudderpost which furnish support to the rudder are called _______________.

A bases
B gudgeons
C pintles
D rudder lugs
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) gudgeons. The projecting lugs of the rudderpost that provide support to the rudder are called gudgeons. Gudgeons are the metal fittings that are attached to the rudderpost and into which the pintles on the rudder fit, allowing the rudder to pivot and turn. This arrangement of gudgeons and pintles is the standard way of attaching and supporting a rudder. The other answer choices are incorrect. Bases are not the correct term for the rudder support fittings. Pintles are the projections on the rudder that fit into the gudgeons. Rudder lugs is not the standard industry term for these components.
