Hi folks,
We have just ordered a new (complete) rudder from the Beneteau factory in France. Our Oceanis 50 is French built.
The beneteau rep has advised that it can be fitted in the water. I assume that this means that it will be treated by the factory ready to fit without having to do anything to it or am I wrong? The rep has made no mention of having to prepare the rudder with antifouling or the like prior to fitting and has arranged for a diver to do the fitting as soon as the rudder and assembly arrives.
