In order to avoid water intrusion into the foam core of the rudder, Catalina Direct tech support highly recommends all desired holes be drilled oversize. Fill the drilled holes with a mixture of Gougeon Brothers West Epoxy mixed with high density filler (see "May we also suggest" below). Once the resin mixture has set, re-drill the holes the proper size. This creates a water proof epoxy sleeve in the blade at each hole.

3) When you order a special order item it sets off a chain of events like Willie Wonka in the chocolate factory. Once you turn the valve the chocolate is coming down the pipe. If you then decide you want caramel, the chocolate is still going to come out of the pipe. We can't put the Chocolate back in the pipe, so someone is going to have to eat it, and it's not going to be us! Your order can't be canceled, returned, or magically changed into caramel, so please order carefully the first time!
