[Rhodes22-list] Old-style rudder head for sale

[R22RumRunner at aol.com]

Bob,
The rudder repair is fairly simple. The first step is to make sure the core  
is completely dry. I had mine in the garage over a summer before I did the 
work.  I had the luxury of having a spare rudder. Once the core is dry, sand 
around the  cracked areas to be repaired and wipe clean with rag. Then it becomes 
a matter  of laying in layers of fiberglass over the cracks lengthwiays and 
sanding in  between layers. West has a good fiberglass system available from  
marine  suppliers and they can provide you with a manual if you are unfamiliar 
with the  workings of fiberglass.

Bob,
The bottom  part that you are referring to is actually the rudder. If it is   
simply split along the seams, it can be dried out and repaired with  
fiberglass. 
It's not a hard fix and something that I did several years ago  to mine.

Rummy

All,

I have a single piece rudder head for  sale. It  is the old style that has 
two 
metal plates on the sides.

It  is  1 1/2" white Kingstarboard.  It was professionally made by a  
plastics 
on  a CNC machine.  The price is at cost of $125.00  plus shipping.

If  anyone is interested, I could send pics.  

I own a 1973 Rhodes, which is  certainly old style. I have split  the bottom 
portion of my rudder. The top  portion is ok as is the  tiller. Does the part 
of 
the rudder you selling  include the bottom  part? Thank You. Bob Kesselring
