Tom, I always left the rudder on when our M17 was slipped (usually 4-5 months). Grace's rudder was epoxy coated then varnished. It was always beautiful. No problems at all. Currently my M23 is in the water. Her rudder is painted with VC-17 below the waterline and varnished above. No problems yet. Mark M23 Faith
