I own a 32' Ericson sloop and had an emergency haul out on Friday July 31 due to a leak we detected coming from cracks which developed where the rudder shaft enters the bottom of the hull (directly adjacent to and surrounding the shaft bushing)....any other Ericson owners have similar problems and care to share their stories with me? Haven't gotten the repair estimate yet but I know it's gonna hurt....

I recently bought an old Ericson 25 foot that has cracks in the rudder. A friend recommended Foss Foam. In the alternative, I'm supposed to hollow the rudder out and replace insides.
