Joel:
The usual way water water gets in the rudder in where the rudder post
enters the rudder. If you can apply a good water resistance sealant
around the rudder post where it enters the rudder, that should help.
I go a slightly similar route.....each Spring before launch, I pack that
area with a water resistance axle grease.....does it work, I really
don't know, however each Fall at haulout the grease is still packed in
there and after 15 years I have not had a water/rudder problem and I do
not drill holes in the bottom of the rudder to drain it annually. I did
drill 3 holes approx. 6 -7 years ago just to see if any water drained
out and none did.

Is there a way to prevent water from going inside the rudder or is
that normal
