While moving stuff around in my workshop today I ran across the old rudders from our 1977 28' express.I don't know what other year/models that these would be the same.I used them for reference to make new ones out of stainless.The shafts as well as the paddles.Anyone need these ? As you can see the shafts are pitted thus the reason for replacement.

Good eyes Roger! These are so pitted that unless you built up the shaft they should not be used in a boat again.You would be constantly tightening your stuffing box nuts and replacing your packing! Thus the reason I replaced them.It was in the process of changing out the rudder shaft bearings when I discovered the pitted shafts and decided to replace the rudders. New ones made from all stainless.I used the old ones for the pattern!

With all the pitting, I would want to check isolation of rudder shafts. Roger Sea Jay
