Call D&R Marine

I'd give Rudy at D&R Marine a call (508) 644-3001. He was the parts Dept. Manager for O'Day and now runs a company that makes and sells replacement parts for O'Days. He should have the dimensions for the original rudder for the O'Day 20 as well as the optional kick-up rudder. Of course he also sells these parts and for getting on the water soonest, that may be the best thing. Check out the D&R Web-site, I'll link it below. Rudy also has the rigging guide for the O'Day 20 if you call him.

Tim,Here's my rudder (pics P9100001.jpg through P9100005.jpg on link below). Wood between 1/4" aluminum plates is 1" thick (same as rudder blade before taper). Rudder is 11 1/2" wide. Length from bottom of bottom mount bracket to forward end is 35". From bottom of top mount bracket to tiller rest is 7 3/4". Kick-up pivot is 4 1/2" from forward edge and 2" above the bottom of the bottom mount. Overall tiller length is 43 1/2". Hope this helps. Happy sailsMArk
