[Rhodes22-list] Other things learned on my last trip.

David:  Sounds like a plan.  The core will suck up water and add a lot of weight to the stern.  Most of us who keep our boats in the water pull the rudder up to keep it clean so we generally don't have your problem.  The cracks along your edges is most likely your problem.  A good cleaning, smoothing (filling the voids), epoxy coating, and painting will cure the issue.

I learned a few other things about my boat on my trip last weekend.

When using the head, crack open the plate between the bow and holding tank.
Pressure can build up in the tank splashing you when you flush.........

My rudder has a few cracks along the edges.  When first submerged it
bubbles.  I doubt this is a good thing for the long term health of the
rudder.  I do trailer so it does dry out.
I expect to remove it in the fall,  clean, seal, and repaint and install
back next spring.  Thoughts?
