My 299 has standing water in the rudder tube. There is no tiller or head on it yet, as I,m rebuilding the boat from scratch, so the water could have come from rain or from a leak in the rudder. Is this going to cause problems or is water in the rudder acceptable. Also,,does anyone know what goes between the fiberglass seat and the bronze tiller head to keep the head from grinding into the area around the rudder stock tube?
