[Rhodes22-list] Curved Rudder | 84 Rhodes 22

[Graham Stewart]

Bob:

Can you post a picture of the rudder? 
I wonder if the rudder is curved or instead has "swollen" on one side due to
water migration into the core - especially if the rudder has been exposed to
freezing. When I rebuilt my rudder I found that there were large voids in it
and undertook to fill them with epoxy. Removing any paint might show cracks
and if so see if there is a pattern that shows the effect of internal
pressure. Just a guess.

list but did not reach the intended destination.  I am therefore forwarding
it to the list.  Note to Bob: If you figure out why your post did not reach
the proper destination, please let me know.  I hope that this helps to find

I have an 84 Rhodes 22, that came with a "slightly-curved" rudder? As you
can imagine, when under power this applies a slight port steer. As
interested as I am in what would have caused this slight curve to the
rudder, I am more interested in repairing/replacing this issue.

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts / suggestions.

 

Bob
