Re: barrier coat?
I put a new rudder on my cal31 this year.
I needed a bushing as the fit to the hull was less than perfect. 1/4" was all I needed so no complaints
Also: I put on a wet suit and got In the water to install myself. No haul-out required in this case
FYI : it floats but naturally the post end wants to go down so it was a balancing act.
Wife, 13 year old daughter, 10 year old son were all required installation accessories (on dock and in cockpit)
A fun day
