Re: Skeg/Rudder Repair
Temporary rudder shaft fit as a form and wrapped with a 3/8" stand off as a mold. Aft end of skeg potted in place for perfect fit with minimal gap. Waiting for rudder to check for perfect fit before taping trailing edge, don't know if dimensions from Foss will be exactly the same.

Dunno why all pics I post with any iDevice come out rotated, they're upright when I post them.

Re: Skeg/Rudder Repair
Owner on this one writes and linked this thread in an article, so I figured I should do him the courtesy of finishing it.

Believe I left off at fairing.
