Gary, I'll tell you, I've never kept a boat in a slip, so I'm sure someone else could be much more helpful about how to coat the rudder.
I'd be inclined to mix wood sanding dust in epoxy to fill nicks. I used Poliglow on the hull. It was pretty easy to apply (although the faux lapstrakes don't help matters) and so far I'm happy with it, although I only applied it last spring so I don't know how I'll like it over the long term.

Tod/ M boaters Im am going to redo my rudder this spring. I keep the 17 in a slip so the rudder will be painted. Do I need to do anymore than just sand her smooth or do I need to varnish before she is painted. Also any ideas on what I might use to fill in the small nicks/scratches ? The plan is to: sand her smooth fill in where needed sand again apply bottom paint Does this cover it or did I miss something? Thanks for your help Gary also Tod What did you use on your hull, she looked good in Sept at the Hess Fest _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
