When we rebuilt our 34 rudder, there had been water intrusion and degradation of the foam but was a relatively easy fix. Of note is the design is solid glass around the entire perimeter. Careful tapping gave a good guide of where the interface was. The bottom had a section roughly mid way fore and aft where the solid glass was considerably less, obviously for the drilling of a drainage hole. Have had no issue since the rebuild several years ago.

I have threaded a machine screw into it. I pull it out at each haul out. I seal it with caulk before launching. Works great. I don’t see much water at all. Sometimes just a few rusty drips over a period of a few days.

Anyone want to suggest the location to drill? We hauled out last night and I am going up to the boat to disconnect batteries on Wednesday. I assume that the drainage holes will be in the lower quadrant of the rudder. Should they be in the side or in the bottom surface (or does it really matter. I never had to do this on my Redwing 35 so this is new to us. Neil Schiller 1983 C&C 35, Mark III, #028 "Grace" White Lake, Michigan
