Dropped the rudder on my 1986 Pearson 28-2 to investigate a rust stain coming down from the top. Boat yard is of the opinion water is getting in from the top seam. I'm weighing all options; split it open to investigate and see if it is repairable (preferred), or worst case, buy a new rudder. But looking at similar sized boats, a new rudder comes with some sticker shock!
Thing is, I have not found anyone who sells a rudder for a 28-2. Any ideas if it is hull specific, or if the same rudder was used on other models? Starting from scratch on this... Any recommendations where to find one?
Thanks
Ben
