fix bent rudder shaft (whale damage)
I collided with a humpback whale while fishing with no sail up and little way on. The whale came from underneath me (out of the blue) and hit my rudder which is now bent (see photos). There does not seem to be water inside but the seal does not look great. I don't have the money to replace this now, how might I attempt to fix it? Please help
