Welcome to the site. What did you hit? Or is it doing the old expanding rudder trick? Moisture getting in and rust or ice expanding it...
I've seen a thread here some ware on how to fix the expanding one. Can't find the link...
Good luck

Well, since no one's suggeted it yet, why don't you give the Hunter Yachts factory a call and see if their parts department has a replacement. New rudders are expensive, so if yours is simply damaged.... follow findings41's advice and investigate repairing it.
Foss Foam Products of Florida at newrudders.com makes rudders for Hunter and has them olds for any Hunter boat. Remember. Changing a rudder may require lifting the boat high enough to drop the old one out and fitting the new on in. The bearings and drive need to be attached. May make the cost of a new rudder much larger than the parts. I got a quick quote on one last year but decided to repair the fiberglass on the old one after negotiating on the scope of work and price. Turned out nice.
