Good morning everyone! Happy New Year!

I've spent the last 2 weeks totally sanding Nina's bottom down to the gel
coat in prep for a new paint job using The Black Widow from Pettit.

I came across some issues with the rudder yesterday and was wondering if
any of you have fixed similar.   After sand it down too, I could tell there
was some glass and bondo work done on the trailing edge. I Dremeled out the
spots and have a great marine epoxy to fill since they aren't deep.

However, there was water dripping from a hole or shaft of sorts on the
underside near the leading edge about a few inches back. I inserted a dowel
stick about 5" up and it seems solid. So drilled a hole where a previous
hole was on the bottom face of the starboard side. About 3oz of water came
out. The yard lead tech suggest I pull the rudder and send to FossFoam near
Gainesville FL to rebuild it. They quoted $2,000 and said that they were
probably the original manufacturer.

Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.  Here is a link to some
pics.

Regards,
