This winter, it's time to take on the rudder repair. I have the cracked leading edge / right below gudgeon-pintle location with water ingress.

I recall threads about this and yet search doesn't seem to return anything specific about repair other than the recent rudder CAD thread.

Any tips/suggestions from folks out there? My gracious local dealer suggested drilling holes top & bottom and pouring acetone from top to bottom, then re-bonding...... hmmmm. My guess is that there are some more elegant, alternative tips/suggestions from those that have done it before.

Also - if anyone has a decent quality used rudder just dying to be sold, I'm open to discussing as long as it's in reasonably good shape.

Thanks!
