did this repair five or more years ago, and as far as I know the rudder

Here in the great white north the concern is the water freezing and
splitting the rudder. The surveyor concurred with that reasoning. Good
old fresh water has it advantages but cold weather has its own items to
be concerned with. We haul, winterize and cover but we don't have to

I rebuilt mine, the welds were very rusted so I had the web replaced. It was
somewhat a scary find.

rudder was bad since it could cause the metal web inside to rust.
Eventually this could result in the rudder twisting freely on the post or

There is probably no one simple answer to your question with water
intrusion in a ruddera hole or two drilled into the bottom of the
rudder is always a good place to start.
In my case, my rudder was rebuilt by the original owner just before I
acquired the boat. Nevertheless,
We drain the rudder on the 27-3 as follows.
Make 3 drain holes, one high up on the trading edge of the rudder, one 3-4
inches from the tip, and one on the bottom of the rudder. We drilled 1/4 in
holes and then tapped them to accept hex-head cap screws.
Water comes out in the fall, cold weather

My 35-1 came with holes already drilled, on the side in the lower aft
corner. I put 4200 in them in the spring, remove it in the fall.
