I have a decision to make on repairing the rudder on my boat after it was damaged in a grounding on a reef. The shaft is bent and they are proposing to straighten the shaft and then repair the fiberglass. It was described to me by the surveyor as a common process and no big deal. He said they used heat and hydraulics to do it while the shaft is still attached to the rudder. He described one done recently on a Nonesuch as bent worse than mine and came out fine. I have been looking into having a replacement built, but that is going to take more time and money to do, so I am wondering what the experience and wisdom of the group is on the issue of repair.
