Hey, I just bought a Hobie 16 and am in the process of fixing some slight fiberglass issues. The biggest one is that the rudder casting sits directly on the decks of both hulls. Since there is some pressure and the casting moves, the decks have been chewed away. I've repaired the glass and gelcoat, but wonder if there is a good way to prevent this. Was the boat designed such that a rotating piece of aluminum sits with pressure on the gelcoat, or has it been poorly modified sometime in the last 24 years? Thanks for any advice you may have! I attempted to attach a pic... hope it works. -Matt
