Back in 2017 re a corroded rudder tube on a Hood 20, Chris 249 wrote "It's not a huge job to fit a new tube". I have just managed to severely bend the rudder tube on my Hood 20 where it exits the hull, also cracking the top fibreglass (?) on the rudder itself where the tube goes in. My first thought was to get the rudder off and see if the s/s tube could be straightened (maybe 30 - 40 deg bend), but if "It's not a huge job to fit a new tube", maybe that would be the way to go. I don't quite understand how that could be so - does not the tube have a bunch of arms or plates welded to it down through the rudder? Can Chris 249 or some knowledgeable person explain to me how the rudder is constructed and how one might go about replacing the tube? Replies much appreciated. I'll post this now and add a photo tomorrow.
