CORRECTION !!! JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM FOSS...they misquoted..the new design rudder is ONLY for original early E35 models..the later E35's like my E35-3 (only original spec rudders available) has a cost of $2600 +/- instead of $1600 for the new design for older models. Don at Foss...super nice fellow suggested as you indicated above...cut an inch or so off the aft upper end of the rudder so it will not rub the hull, patch it with fiberglass, patch the fore bottom where it hit the cable, patch the 2 blisters and live with the slight post bend (it has no effect on the steering) and be done with it. I intend to do just that for now. Note: Foss said never to try straightening the post..!Inquiring minds, and all that...... same blade shape and profile or a newer profile? (Either is fine, but... like, curiosity....)
