Anyone have experience having a new rudder built, or old one refurbished? Despite earlier repairs, mine keeps drinking lots of water. Any recommendations are welcome.

Thanks in advance,

I believe you can buy a new rudder from Tartan, but there is a demonstration of taking the rudder of a T37 C apart and repairing it on this site in the technical area if it has internal problems. But first, I would first try drilling a hole or multiple in the bottom and then 12 inches from the bottom to drain it and heat it to dry it. Look for a crack at the top where the SS post enters. Dry it out and seal it with epoxy. I would try to fix the one you have before buying.
