I bought a 1981 Catalina 30 a year ago. I noticed that if I push up on the rudder it will go up about 1 inch. Is this normal to have that much play in it or should it not move up/down at all?
Next question is about water getting into the rudder and causing a crack that seeps. Is it possible to seal the rudder at the top where the shaft exits or is this just an ongoing problem with this rudder?
