I recently had some
rudder work done on our '92
Sabre 30MKIII. There was a chunk missing from the top aft (see photo). I have no idea when or how this happened. I also don't know if there was
water intrusion (I haven't been present when the
boat is hauled to check for any dripping).
I received a quote to "sand off and grind
bottom paint; grind out wet and contaminated surface; drain; re-fiberglass surface; re-seal
rudder with
epoxy; apply four coats barrier coat on rudder; and apply
bottom paint to rudder."
I have two questions:
1) Can (or would) this
work be completed without dropping the rudder?
2) Could this work be completed in 3 or 4 days?
I am asking because the rudder was not removed and they did the work in 3-4 days. I'm quite suspicious.
