How bad is the rudder? You might be able to pull it and send it to a prop shop and they can fix it!

[Lunkerdo]

the rudder is gone snaped off i have bin trying to get a hold of company who makes them but they dont call back mite be out of business

Take the other out and take it to a good prop shop and make a duplicate this is going to be as close as you get to what you had

[Lunkerdo]

Thats what I did i got lucky I found a guy that had one.I had to modify it a little just put it back in tonite ready to go fishing thanks for the reply.The company that made the running gear went out of business the name was dahmar marine out of N.J

[CaptnJack]

Yes it was a fair day the ocean was incredible. probably the flattes I'v seen in a while, had we ran a little further east several big... big eyes were caught and we may have had a shot, numorus whites were seen and caught not to mention plenty of mahi but I'm satisfied with what we put in the boat, hell it only cost 600 in fuel..........ouch!!!!!!!
