F26 Model 261 1978 rudder needed

[ochie629]

I apologize if this is posted in the improper area, but we are in need of a replacement rudder. Single screw, Trojan F-26 Express 1978 model 261, hull number: TRJ096080778. If you know of a source, either an original part or a replacement part, please contact me. Thank you and have a great summer!

If you don't mind me asking, what happened? I have a 77 261 and am wondering if I should be cheecking anything.

The boat was operated into shallows, not by me. Since the rudder is the lowest point with no protection, it died a horrible death.

I would call Bob at Beacon Marine, he should be able to help you out. I would also make sure there isn't any damage to the rudder stuffing box.

Thanks for your help. Bob at Beacon had the exact rudder we needed. The F26 is back in the water and running well!
