Just had my rudder rebuilt by Competition Composites in Ontario. I have pics
of the interior and shaft. I had been removing the rudder every winter due to
the water in the rudderso it didn't freeze. .. kept it in the heated
garage...and let it drain a cup or more of black-brown ooze.
Had mine done. ~$5k! According to the fiberglass tech, after thorough
deconstruction the rudder was "fine" but nobody would have been able to
tell. When you go to sell the surveyor is gonna find it and the buyer's
insurance/mortgage company has a high probability of pumping the breaks
over it.

Hi
I have a 1981 C&C 34 which I'm trying to sell, and now am concerned about the
issues
We do one on the bottom, one about 4-5 inches up, and one 3-4 inches from the
top. Always on the trailing edge. Use 5/16 set screws and drive them in flush.

On my 27-III we had water in the rudder. When we drilled escape holes, one
higher up to prevent vacuum effect, we tapped them. Now in the fall we pull the
set screws and water comes out - maybe a few ounces. The winter cold causes the
rest to efflorescence so in the spring we re-insert the set
Hi
I have a 1981 C&C 34 which I'm trying to sell, and now am concerned about the
issues on the boat. The biggest one is the moisture in the rudder.
About a foot up from the bottom of the rudder there has been a small quasi
