Hello,

I am going to be working on a Pearson 26 rudder. I have looked at the
webpages that come up on web searchs for Pearson 26's. They do not
mention if the rudder shaft is solid or a tube filled with resin.

My shaft in question has some corrosion pits near the bottom seal.
They are an issue structurally if it is a rudder tube. They are not an
issue if the Pearson is equipped with a solid metal shaft.

There appears to be a shaft composed of tubing filled with polyresin.
But that is just by poor examination of shaft corrosion pits?

Does anybody know the specs for the Pearson 26 rudder?

Thanks in advance,

Doug
