Shippo Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Hi all, I've managed to damage one of my rudders.Almost severing it in two while taking in shallow water. How hard is it to come by 2nd hand rudders or am i better trying to refibreglass the one I have. Cheers Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stb-tack Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Grind it back, glass it up, fill & fair, respray. If you spend 2 days doing this you will still be in front of buying a new one but it will be a little heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shippo Posted January 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Thanks for that.I was interested to know why the rudders are hollow,I was expecting then to be solid marine ply with a fibreglass coating .Obviously it keeps the rudder lighter but maybe not as strong. Anyway I'll try to repair it. And stay away from shallow lakes! Cheers Col Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
