What is the best way to protect the original mahogany rudder from the salt water? Last year I kept my M17 in the salt water. Every time I finished sailing I would pull the rudder of the boat. Rinse it off with freshwater on the dock. Dry it. Then store it in the cabin of my boat. Andrew M17 #348 Seabeck, WA
Sweet Pea's is coated in epoxy and then with antifouling. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com On Wed, Jun 20, 2018, 9:10 PM Andrew Nelson <aelnelson@gmail.com> wrote:

Like Dave I put a couple coats of epoxy on my rudder then antifouling paint on the portion that's submerged. The upper portion has Cetol on it. Mark Dvorscak On Wed, Jun 20, 2018, 21:10 Andrew Nelson <aelnelson@gmail.com> wrote:
