When I regularly used my stock M17 rudder (I have an IS rudder now), I finished it with several coats of spar varnish, but never kept it mounted when not sailing. Always stowed it in the cabin. So varnish worked fine for me. t On Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 11:22 AM, <david_hill@idg.com> wrote:
I'd like to hear what Monty owners use for a finish on their rudders. I leave my M17 on a mooring in fresh water five months a year. You can't use marine spar varnish below the water line. Clear epoxy turns cloudy and looks ugly after a few months in the sun. What do folks use?
