Hello All,
We just bought H20 sail #360 in Charleston SC. I got the EPO 3 rudders and am looking to install them but the head profile is a lot different as well as the shape of the blade and the leading edge of the rudder head. I see these are big problems moving forward.
First, rudder head shape. The overall shape of the head doesn't seem to work with the rudder casting I have, which I believe is the stock casting for this boat.
Second, the lower leading edge of the rudder doesn't fit into the curve of the casting when the rudder would be in the down position.
Third, the shape of the foil is so different that the placement of the rudder in the down position is critical.
I have been searching and searching for photos or descriptions of how people dealt with these issues with little to no luck. Have any of you installed these EPO 3 rudders? How? Photo? Process?
