Thanks for the terriffic information. You both put a lot of effort into this board and I appreciate it.

On C-80 the rudder shaft looks fine. But the shoe is almost totally gone.

Obviously the shaft is more noble. I wonder what alloy of Bronze the original shaft is?

I am working on a solution to this common problem. What alloy would be most like it but slightly less noble?

How often would you say the average person hauls their boat to do the bottom?

Bill: If you get this post, I was interested in the finished rudder shoe you posted back in 2005 with a nice picture. I am not sure how to use this forum since I am a new user. I do not know how to reply directly to you or simply put up a new post, so here it goes.

Is it still available in finished form? Would it fit an Alberg 35? Where can I get it? If Fred Pomeranz, do you have his email address? Carl291 may have an unfinished one to sell, and I am waiting to hear more from him. Thanks for any assistance you can provide. George
