Re: Hull rudder tube leak

Reggie, I did not have this problem but I recall a long thread years ago when the late Brian Cleverly wrote a series of posts about replacing the fiberglass rudder tube and joining it at the top and bottom. Sadly, that thread appears to be long gone, but I was surprised to see that Brian's website is still up. Here's a post and a photo of his repair on his own boat; it involves cockpit drain tubes, but the problem is essentially the same as for a rudder tube: http://www.anzam.com/images/fuji/project/work_begins/fuji_work2-2_027.htm http://www.anzam.com/images/fuji/project/work_begins/forward_cockpit_drains. jpg I hope that this is of some help.
