The original rudder on Quicksilver my former 38 mk1 was a solid 2 1/4" OD stainless bar. About 8 years ago I had it remade by South Shore. It was the 1st one they had done but they said they had the prints and molds. They made the rudder and charged me $2200.00. When I got the rudder ( shipped frei ght, very heavy) and put it in the boa t the post was short and the key way was not correct. So check all of these things out before you order or get the old rudder to the builder.

The replacement rudder is built on the shaft from a similar vintage 38 LF. It was 2 1/4 OD solid stainless bar stock with the treads and tiller attachment machined in the top.
