I have a 78 Cat 30 which had quite bad rudder shudder, to over come this I dropped the rudder and installed some .08 brass shim strips at the bottom rudder stock. Has anyone used this material before for this purpose and if so how did it stand up to use. Rgds Bill

Regarding the brass shims - brass corrodes in salt water. If the boat is in fresh water it is not an issue, but if it is in salt water bronze would be much preferable to brass.
