A few of you may remember my post about the back end of my boat falling off and wanted to say thank you for all of your advice/encouragement!

I started building a new rudder a couple weeks ago and am probably a couple weeks out from getting it finished up. The hole in the back end has been sealed up and I built a much stronger mounting point than the original system.

I found a template of my boats rudder and modeled a copy then 3d printed the core. Between the fiberglass and the rods I’ve added for rigidity, I’m hoping it works out well. It may be coming up to October, but I think I’ll get at least one test run before the season ends.

    Hahaha you could name it The Tail

    As in the rudder is the tail that wags the dog.

    Looks great! Good luck with it. Hope it stays on.
