The rudder of my 34 used to fill with water every season. I was told this was pretty common for rudder posts to leak and frequently people did not even know. Every year, when the boat was hauled, I drilled a hole upward from the bottom with a long drill bit (about 8” long and about 1/8" diameter. The metal frame is primarily around the periphery so drilling upward in the center of the bottom did not hit anything metal. The bit had to be long enough to get above the fill, but when you get far enough, water will start coming out. I plugged the hole with Boatlife caulk in the spring. I never could get the leak to stop, but stopped worrying about it. Dave
