I am continuing to attempt to restore to my old 1978 M-17. Have finished her tiller and rudder and now need to replace the half inch rod that the rudder turns and slides on. The rod has been eaten away to just above the waterline so I don't know how long the original one was. I would appreciate information of the length of the rod and suggested material. I believe the one I have is stainless steel but the rot makes me wonder. Thanks, Bill
