flet mental?

O my bad ...the spell check didn't know what I meant to say.....flat metal

If you are talking about the flukes, I think they are just to help control water flow across the rutter --- er.... I mean flet mental thingies... er I mean rudder...

I have seen those in several F25-27pics, but usually not on anything bigger, which leads me to believe that they were needed on the shorter hulls but not on the bigger ones.

There is also a chance (though they are darn small to really contribute IMO) that they somehow helped to lift the stern on some models. Never have been able to tell if they are truly horizontal or angled down a bit...

Thought they were fish atractors or luhrs.

nope you have to paint them on...

Shuld I use laytex or enamell?

they are zincs and you shouldn't paint them. In fact they look like they should be replaced.

low VOC latex...
