Rudder interchangeably 94 nautique?

Hello, I’m looking for a replacement rudder for my 94 ski nautique efi. I’m not sure what other year rudders will also work. If I’m getting a new rudder do I need a new rudder box? Mine appears ok. The bolts holding it in just weren’t safety wired and they vibrated loose. I know I’ll likely need new packing. Thanks and if anyone has one that will fit, I’m in the market.

Thanks, it looks like I need an 11a or a 2160. The only thing g I can find is the new 2160 from Nautique parts for $675.

Skidim sells a universal 4x4 bolt pattern rudder with box for a couple hundred less. I don’t mind enlarging the rudder hole. Anyone know if it works?

I’m trying to spend less than $675 if anyone knows where I can get a rudder for less, I’d appreciate it.

Unfortunately I’m not having any luck on the classifieds here. I’ve got no replies to my want as and I’ve messaged everyone with a somewhat recent forsale post that might have one and no luck. Do you know of any ski boat salvage places? There definitely aren’t any near me that I’m aware of. I don’t mind getting it shipped if there’s a salvage place that has one.

Thanks for the tip. I just sent him a message 🤞🏾

Does anyone have experience using a non-Correct Craft rudder? I was looking at the Buck Algoquin Marine Hardware catalog which shows "high speed" rudders. The rudders look more like what I've seen on MC or Malibu boats, but I was wondering if they would work on a Ski Nautique.

I attempted to measure the shaft diameter on the rudder on my 1994 SNOB but I can quite get the caliper to fit properly. The shaft appears to have a diameter of 1 1/4". You experts can confirm and/or correct that measurement. Assuming that the 1 1/4" is correct, rudder number 10r4hsss1 looks reasonably close in dimensions:
10" blade width
13 1/2" blade length
14" shaft length

I haven't measured the shaft length on the CC rudder as I would have to perform major surgery for that. I'm fairly certain that KENO will know the correct numbers.

Enquiring minds.....are a dangerous thing.

1.25” diameter but the steering box is only about 5.75” tall. I doubt that one listed would work as it would probably hit the fuel tank.

Yeah, it looks like it could work. Nobody seems to list a price for that particular rudder, so who knows if it’s worth the hassle.

I sent a quote request off to deep blue yachts. Machining the square for the rudder arm is doable, and drilling and tapping the hole in the top is simple.

Well, I did have to do some measuring, but anything for you JQ

kENO thanks for the measurements, those will be very helpful if I have to modify one. I messaged about that rudder you linked on Sunday offering to buy it but haven’t heard back. Hollywood messaged me yesterday saying he might have one, so hopefully I’m in luck and don’t have to modify one.

I have a rudder for sale if you are still looking
