Hi All,
I don't know if John still producing Stealth rudders ??
I have T foils rudders and also Dotan rudders which are fitting well on my Stealth #539. Then I experienced that T foils are really efficient to prevent diving.
My problem is that the boat is "singing" "whouwhou..." because of vibrations in the rudders. Do you know what can I do to stop them ?
Thanks
Bertrand
Couple of possible problems....
1, How Snug is the rudder in the casette? Maybe the carpet padding has worn
2, Are the rudders fully forward in the casettes? I have put a small blob of filler at the back (with the rudder down and protected with silicone paper) to make sure the blade is fully forward
3, Make sure the mounting fittings on the back of the boat are done up snug (but do not go mad they are threaded into acetal wich is not mega strong
4, Do you have any dinks or nicks in the leading or trailing edges? fix them.
Good places to start..
