[Rhodes22-list] Curved Rudder | 84 Rhodes 22

Bob:
Your rudder looks to me to be much thinner than mine. There also appears to
be a lot of space around the rudder in the rudder holder - whatever you call
the upper part that holds the rudder. I am wondering if this an original
rudder or a replacement. Is that possible?

Greetings all & Happy Holiday's.
We just pulled the boat off Lake Sunapee in NH (11/24/18) as I guess the
2018 season is over. While I had the chance I took better pics of our
"Curved Rudder" issue. The first pics were not very telling of the issue as
these are. 
I ask if there is knowledge on a repair for this issue or is a replacement
in our future?
Thank you in advance,
Bob '84 Orion

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
