Old rudder on the left, new on the right. Notice how the rudder is balanced; the leading edge of the rudder if forward of the pivot point at the pintels. It will take less effort to steer. Note how the old rudder sweeps back.
The rudder is made one piece of plastic (no wood core to rot and split).
Look at the crack in the old rudder!
Look how much beefier the pintels and gudgeons are. The bushing is 1/2" (vs 3/8") and is made of delrin.
I will have to slightly modify the tiller to fit properly on the new rudder.
