Rubber Removal

Post by Bill Depuydt »

I own a 27 CD which suffered Hurricane damage. I just pulled the boat and found that the rudder need repair. The rudder has an opening in the upper aft portion of the rudder. Any suggestion on how to remove and repair the rudder. Thanks Bill

I think you may have to remove the shaft in order to remove the rudder. Sorry about that! The good news is the rudder, being mostly glass, is relatively easy for a good glass man to fix.
