[Rhodes22-list] Curved Rudder | 84 Rhodes 22

Returning again to the conversation of my rudder. When I pull the boat at the end of the season I will get better pics of the curvature of the rudder. 
I don't know what the '84 rudder is made of.
What are the options?
Does anyone have a rudder for sale?

Bob

Bob,
Almost looks like the rudder blade has twisted or warped??  Kind of hard to tell.  Not sure anyone has reported this as an issue before.  What material is the rudder blade made of? - rob

Thanks for the pictures Bob. I can't be sure I can see the curve but it looks to me like there might be a bend at the join between the rudder and the head. That might be possible. I just don't know how the rudder itself could bend without breaking. That doesn't mean it can't happen.

Graham,
Good point about the swollen side as you experienced. However, you can see by both pics here it is a different case. Pic #2 that has the rudder laying down and it shows the best example of the curve.

Bob:

Can you post a picture of the rudder? 
I wonder if the rudder is curved or instead has "swollen" on one side due to water migration into the core - especially if the rudder has been exposed to freezing. When I rebuilt my rudder I found that there were large voids in it and undertook to fill them with epoxy. Removing any paint might show cracks and if so see if there is a pattern that shows the effect of internal pressure. Just a guess.

As the list admin, I received this "bounced" email this morning. I am not sure why it wound up in my inbox but it appears to have been sent to the list but did not reach the intended destination.  I am therefore forwarding it to the list.  Note to Bob: If you figure out why your post did not reach the proper destination, please let me know.  I hope that this helps to find a solution to your problem.

I have an 84 Rhodes 22, that came with a "slightly-curved" rudder? As you can imagine, when under power this applies a slight port steer. As interested as I am in what would have caused this slight curve to the rudder, I am more interested in repairing/replacing this issue.

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts / suggestions.

 

Bob
