Rudder draft

[BWsailaway]

Does anyone know the exact rudder draft depth of a Hunter 260?

That is not a spec provided for the boats. Underway they are protected from grounding by the longer centerboard and the kickup retracting function. Moving with a retracted center board and retracted rudder to clear shallow spots is possible in calm waters, at slow speeds, for short distances with only slow and light inputs on the tiller.

@Benny17441 is correct there is no depth measurement given for the rudder. Simply measure from the bottom of the rudder to a point to point parallel to the top of the transom of the rub rail.
Go to boat information Click on Hunter resources .. click on 260. Then click on download for the owner’s manual. Be careful as the manual addresses the hunter 240 as well.
