It will be very helpful to know how much our rudder blades weigh. (That's the rudder blade only.) Maybe that'll be a help to owners in assessing whether or not water has entered the shell? We'll see. Please indicate whether or not it's an OEM blade or perhaps made of FG covered laminated marine plywood, teak, aluminum, or some other material. Some of you lucky people, like Jim in KY, own two boats so have two blades. Others have replaced old blades. My 6.7 #81 rudder blade (1981) OEM blade weighs about 21 lbs.
