I hit a rock going 25mph. It ripped the rudder clean off. What should I check for underneath as far as damage when replacing it? Hull cracking? rudder pass through flange metal bent? I already know the drill with the shaft and strut. Thanks, Adam ------------- '97 21' Sport Nautique |

Adam Look for cracking around the rudder port inside and out. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Do you still have tracking fins, a strut, shaft, and propeller? Probably want to check those for alignment while you're down there. ------------- 1999 Ski Nautique 196 |

Gonna be an easy fix. I went out to mark the rock with a buoy and found the rudder. One in a million! ------------- '97 21' Sport Nautique |

Gorilla glue might be overkill? I'd go with Elmer's. Don't let quinner talk you into rubber cement, he prefers it for the taste. |

Think the prop is fixable with those chunks taken out of it? ------------- '97 21' Sport Nautique |

looks like you might be due for a hull cleaning

It was perfectly clean three months ago. I cleaned with "on off" and then Marine waxed it. I can't believe the plant matter content in my lake is that aggressive/high. You can see where I cleaned again with "on off" around the rudder again to look for cracks. I'm more surprised the wax didn't hold off the plant material longer. You can actually see the reflection of the stone driveway where I cleaned it again in that picture. ------------- '97 21' Sport Nautique |

I think if you go in at an angle with a drywall screw that should be sufficient. ------------- The value of money spent on new adventure far exceeds the value of money saved for the future |

Mark this for the calander. Classic CCFan right here. A couple wraps of duct tape over the glue line should be just fine. Really quality work with this pic. Hats off and cheers brother.  ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

haha good attitude. You will be thanking whoever it was that reccomended the double taper shaft when it comes time to check for straight and get the new prop in there. That prop i'm afraid is toast. Sure would make a nice center piece for the dinner table or coffee table.  ------------- 1988 Barefoot nautique-454 |

Adam, All of the above repair suggestions are fantastic!! On the serious side here, do check the shaft for straightness especially aft of the strut. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
