regulators mount up!!!
here is a easy up grade to your boat that will pay off in looks and in longevity of your hull.
Add a carbon plate to the out side of the hull with marine epoxy and then mount the rudder back in place, add another piece on both sides of the mounting plate. remove the rudder and let dry 24 hours. if on a cat hull take a file and smooth the edges to the hull and mount the rudder back in place using a rubber glue to seal out water.

this make the hull stronger and also takes a lot of stress off the bolts.

This is a very easy project.

Tips to getting the nuts on inside a cat hull is to use a piece of strait wire. put the nut and then washer on the wire. put the wire on top of the bolt and hold study as you release the nut and washer. be careful as you twist the wire to start threading on the nut. lift when started.
