Used/ Salvage rudder for Hunter 33 ?

[JD]

I lost my rudder being pulled off of a sandbar. Would anyone know of a rudder I could salvage off of a 1977 Hunter 33 ?

Foss Foam

I think the foss foam guy Al Walker has some info in the archive of the guest forum. I can't remember the exact price of a new replacement but it was in the vicinity of $750.Foss Foam Products of Florida, Inc.7060 HWY 41 North Willistin, FL. 32696 352-529-1104 352-529-1106 faxAl Walker BobWalker10@aol.comwww.newrudders.com

Rudder replacement

I just had Foss Foam build a rudder for my '77 30. Cost was about $1150. they do not have the mold for the skeg but, Hunter Marine can make one. Al Walker at Foss was very helpful.-RolandS/V Fraulein II

Do yourself a favor;

When you have a new rudder made, have it made longer fore and aft. (Not deeper.) I added about an inch and a quarter to the aft edge a quarter inch to the leading edge of mine. This ratio maintains the rudder's natural balance. The difference in steering response under both motor and sail is remarkable. I now have control and instant response I never had before.
