The rudder on my O'day 40 is showing some rust leaking out where the rudder post enters the rudder. There is also a spot about two thirds of the way down on the side of the rudder where there is some water and more rust leaking out. I have ideas as to what this means, namely water inside the rudder. I would like to know if anyone has any other ideas and what it may take to fix the problem. Thanks!

James,
Maybe a problem with the stainless rusting inside rudder. Not a happy place to be. I'd talk to Rudy at D & R Marine (drmarine dot com) calling is better than e-mail. You could have the rudder x-rayed, but talk to Rudy first.
