Looking back at older threads I saw some talk about the rudder flaps on 36 & 37 model Hunters. Looks like a few folks decided to remove them. Any adverse effects? Mine are old and warped. I had replaced them with some plexiglass versions but they keep falling off, I guess plexiglass isn't flexible enough. So while I have the boat on the hard I was going to put the old nasty plastic flaps back on, but then happened upon some of the older discussions here about them and I am re-evaluating that decision.
So now I thought about removing them for good and filling in the holes with epoxy. Anyone else try this with success or at least a neutral effect on sailing, handling, rudder vibration, etc?
Thanks,
Marc
