that is pretty easy from the picture you had on your site. you will have to remove the lower hinge point and the gap seal for the rudder. then make the cut back from bottom to top of the remaining post. that is the thickest part will be on the bottom and the thinnest on the top. I am not sure how long that piece is, hard to tell from the picture but the least you and do is 8 to 1 taper, if it is not long enough for that then you are probably better off cutting out what is left of the old post and installing a new one.
