General Discussion / Source for Pearson 28-2 rudder

« on: April 27, 2024, 12:09:09 AM »

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
