C&C 24 rudder questionin my old 24 I drilled a hole at the bottom end of the rudder. Even if stored outside (hanging on the stern), it would drain all the water, before the freezing starts (unless you are a a really hardy sailor and haul out when it is below the freezing point).
If there is water in the rudder, you can easily hear it/feel it (of course, provided that the rudder is out of the water).

A moisture meter implies gouging a hole through the fiberglass. Is that what you're suggesting?

My 27 has drain plugs I installed to dry out over the Ontario winter.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Ed Dooley via CnC-List Sent: 2014-06-04 5:00 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List C&C 24 rudder question After reading a few posts of rudder failure on C&C 24s, I thought I should look into mine. It seems solid, but how do I know without drilling into it? There is a crack in the fiberglass at the top of the rudder, but I can’t tell how far in it goes unless I dig into it. Any thoughts on exploratory surgery? I know there are some doctors on this list. :-) Thanks, Ed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
