Boat Trailer
I actually picked up a 25' dual axle trailer and had the local haul out drop it onto the trailer with no problems. Unfortunately I set the bunks a little too low and I ended up bending my rudder when I drove over a dip in my drive way. I would definitely recommend removing the rudder before traileri...

I had no luck with the liquid wrench and dead blow but I just found a whole drawer of miscellaneous pullers in my shop. Operation "Bent Rudder Removal" continues tomorrow!

Did you loosen/ remove the packing nut ? also check for burrs in the shaft . I would think twice about heat theres fumes in the bilge All the hardware is removed, just have 32 years of salt/corrosion build up on the shaft making it difficult to remove. If I end up applying heat I'll torch it from t...

Rudder
I'm having a heck of a time getting the rudder out. I was able to get all the hardware removed with no problem. I was actually able to get the rudder to drop about 5 inches now she's being stubborn. I saturated it with liquid wrench and I'm hoping that will do the trick tomorrow morning. Otherwise I...

Rudder
Funny you mentioned digging a hole. I was thinking the same thing today while looking at the poor old rudder. I'm on a trailer and on relatively soft ground so the "hole trick" seems like my best bet. I priced out a new rudder today at $300 and was informed the rudder on my boat is bronze ...

Thanks for the replies. Anyone happen to know the size of the
F-26 rudder/shaft if I do end up having to replace it? I'm going to price one out just to see what the going rate is.

Bent Rudder Repair?
Is it cost effective to have a bent rudder repaired/straightened or should I opt for a new one? Finally got my F-26 on a trailer this week but unfortunately I set the bunks about 1/2" too low and the rudder hit a low spot in my driveway and bent about 20 degrees. Funny because there was no rudd...

Boat Trailer Question
I know it's not the best idea in the world, but could I feasibly put my F-26 on a 24' loa trailer? This won't be for towing, just to pull the boat out of the marina to work on it temporarily.
Thanks!
Thanks!
