Hi Colin
It seems as though all rudders were made from two pieces of hollow GRP. This
is filled with various scrap stuff and stuck together. I am in the process
of repairing my rudder. I have cleaned off all antifoul back to gelcoat,
drilled three half inch holes and allowed to thoroughly dry in my dining
room. I will fill the voids with spray foam then repair all holes and cracks
with fibreglass then strengthen the seam with glass tape before finally
coating with two or three coats of epoxy.
Cheers
