I have trouble understanding how Foss Rudder company would build such a sloppy tolerance without warning it's customer of what to expect?
I had gotten warnings about Foss, both quality and design issues, that's why I punted.
I first contacted one local company based on an avid sailor/racer but they just couldn't get their act together.
Then I asked the Marina Shipyard yard manager and he suggested his boss of 16 years; Dan Choate, in Los Alamitos, California. Turns out that Dan is also the person Seth had recommended a few years back and we'd also gotten his name elsewhere. Dan's guys did the work in place and last time I checked it looked GREAT !
Sorry about your Foss problems but maybe someone else will be saved by your post and go elsewhere.
