Came in from fishing this weekend and broke my rudder off backing into my friends driveway.  Does anyone happen to have a 1 1/2" shaft rudder for a Fishnautique laying around or know where I can find one? |

Don't know who would but Buck Algonquin was the supplier to CC. The master list shows a 11A was used as you can see here alot of models used them. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

That doesn't look like an 11A rudder (slightly different shape) and an 11A doesn't have a 1/1/2 inch shaft either Are you sure you have a 1 1/2 inch shaft? Maybe it's been changed at some point in the past. It does have the square top of the shaft for a CC style tiller arm though.

| It’s not a 11a and it is 1 1/2” shaft. My fish is a 87 so maybe they change rudder in later years or was replaced before I got the boat. I have found similar sizes but all the shafts are 20” so looks like I would need to have it cut to 7” and have the square machined for tiller arm. |

| Didn't Jeff over on PN have a couple Fish Nautiques when he was restoring his, maybe he has one laying around. |

There are an old thread or 2 here on CCF referencing the same 1/1/2 inch shaft. on a big FN (they had no resolution to their problem though). Here's a link to a Marine Hardware catalog where you may or may not find a solution, without getting a new tiller arm also, or making a special order or something like that. If nothing else there's plenty of good reading and info  http://www.marinehardware.com/downloads/running_gear.pdf" rel="nofollow - link

The shafts come untrimmed so they can be used in several different ports. We would get a new rudder in, cut it to length and cut the square top. All plain hack saw work. Drilling and tapping the top for the safety bolt was even done with a hand drill. ------------- /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 < |

Ended up having my local prop guy make a stainless match. Seems I got lucky and he had a similar one laying around from a canceled order and modified it to match mine. A new one from BA is crazy expensive Ran the boat today can't tell a difference from old one.
