[Public-List] Steel rudder stock

[John Birch]

Frankly I suspect it was a rudder replacement done elsewhere sometime in the boat's past. To my knowledge, Whitby never used anything but Bronze for rudders.

Cheers,

John

Hello Greg - 

I too have never come across an A30 nor any Whitby boat with a steel rudder stock…  I expect what you’ve got is a stainless steel one.  As George describes, even 316 is not immortal in salt water, although in fresh water it could be described in such terms.

A friend of mine pulled his liner boat last week and discovered heavy pitting on the stock which turns out to be steel. Did Whitby do this as standard for some boats? Has anybody else encountered this problem. If so how did you deal with it?
