I'd avoid silicone at all costs .... it doesn't last that long and it's near
impossible to fully remove the residue when re-sealing.
Others can correct me here but it seems to me the best approach would be to
remove the gudgeon, enlarge the holes and dig out any punky plywood and let
the area dry out and re-fill them 1st with clear epoxy (soaks in) and then
with thickened epoxy. Then once it's cured re-drill the holes. Same idea as
putting holes through your cored deck.

Rick,
Thanks for the info. That makes perfect sense. The surveyor said the lower
gudgeon was leaking. When I get it down I'll open it up and put a heat lamp
on it. Things like this make me thankful to have a 25. What a bigger pain
it'd be if I had to deal with a foam cored rudder with a rusted post.
Do I seal the gudgeon with silicone, or is there a fitting that needs to be
replaced?
Thanks a lot,
Mark McMenamy
