We drain the rudder on the 27-3 as follows. Make 3 drain holes, one high up on the trading edge of the rudder, one 3-4 inches from the tip, and one on the bottom of the rudder. We drilled 1/4 in holes and then tapped them to accept hex-head cap screws. Water comes out in the fall, cold weather takes care of residual moisture. Re-insert in spring with a flexible sealant on the screws. Has worked for 20 years.

Anyone want to suggest the location to drill? We hauled out last night and I am going up to the boat to disconnect batteries on Wednesday. I assume that the drainage holes will be in the lower quadrant of the rudder. Should they be in the side or in the bottom surface (or does it really matter. I never had to do this on my Redwing 35 so this is new to us.
