Searching for correct rudder for classic hydro hull?

[boatcrazy52]

Hi; just recently aquired this classic hydro hull set up as shown, but came missing the rudder blade. Can anyone help me track down the correct blade for this "bracket"? Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would like to keep the old hardware, and would rather not have to replace the complete rudder assembly... Thanks in advance... Doug

Looks like the old Fuller's Fast Electric hardware design. Some of the old timers on this forum may have one of those rudders laying around.

Yes, it's a Fuller's rudder assembly. I had several, all 'natural' finish. None left unfortunately. Ray is still around, no idea if he has any left though...

Seems you could make one pretty easily out of brass stock.

Hi guys; thanks for the answers; seems I did contact Ray and he wasn't holding any of these anymore. The ones he showed me pics of were not this type... Just heard from Doug Campbell; sent over some pics to see if he knows any are around. At least now I know what make this was...would like to run this but didn't want to change it. The old style rudder would keep it original... fingers crossed... Doug

Never mind; I used the grey matter and looked... left Ken a message...Thanks for the help!!!
