speaking of rudders ????
speaking of rudders,been using my boat and enjoying it, but when i raise and lower on of my rudders i can hear water slashing around inside of it ?should i just let this ride or maybe try to use a shop vac and suck it out and coat it with resin ????maybe get a new one and keep this one for back up ?

If the X is the same the M , the water makes them sink. It's by design.
Sorry I never called you when at Keowee btw. It sure is pretty down your way.

The water helps weigh them down, as stated above... and when you raise them it should drain out of the holes, so no need to put resin or suck them out!
