Who makes them? Know of 2 Sangers with outboard steeering that need new rudders.

Thanks! I believe both of the guys have 1/2" thick rudders and want the best available. Both are now alcohol boats. Is that 5/8 thick?

I used Barber welding when I switched from 1" to 1 1/8". Very nice job and timely fashion. Got strut and propshaft. $$$ ouch!

you can buy it from who ever but the chances are high that it's made at Barber anyway.

But is a 1/2" rudder in a BAH unsafe? Is it illegal with NJBA or IHBA?

The following is from the NJBA rulebook on what is legal for Top Alcohol Hydro, you'll see that 1/2" is the MINIMUM. I would call Ron Braaksma at
909-866-3298 ... he'll send you in the right direction.

4. Neutral Device – A devise to allow engagement and disengagement “at will” of the propulsion device while the engine is running.
5. Prop Shaft – The minimum prop shaft diameter through the back of the strut is 1-1/8”.
6. Rudder – Minimum 1/2” thickness of the clamshell.
