Correct Craft used the same 11A rudder on all Ski Nautiques from 1970 forward, though they added the tab about 10 years ago. It was also used on v-hulls like the Barefoot Nautique, Southwind, Freeport, etc. Finding a used one shouldnt be *too* difficult. ------------- |

thank you ^ you said added the tab, would that infer that the newer tab style rudder could also be used?

Wow, I wouldnt have guessed that a http://www.n3boatworks.com/eshopprod_cat_5045-91703_product_874128.Rudder_wtrim_tab_.htm - $600 rudder would have been in your budget, otherwise I would have mentioned that!
If youre interested, I have a nice rudder from a '80 Ski Nautique available for for a few bucks more and it comes with an entire boat attached! Seriously though, if you are interested in a parts boat, Im just on the other side of Hartford. Shoot me an email: TRBenj@gmail.com ------------- |

Not Quite!! In 2003 with the new Ski Nautique the rudder changed somewhat. It is deeper/longer and has a bit larger square area. My preference would be to Find an original 11-A tabbed rudder late 90's thru 2002. But the current rudder will work don't get me wrong, just a preference on my behalf. Also not all 11-A rudders are alike some where designated for the SuperSport and they have a offset on the tiller arm boss/mounting point. ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

email sent!
Jody, fascinating about the rudder change in '03. Ive been under TSC2-3's a fair amount and have never noticed the difference... it must be pretty darn subtle. I didnt realize the 11A was ever used on any v-drive... I thought that those got larger rudders. ------------- |

I have a 80 sn with a rudder that is currently not being used and would gladly remove it, gift wrap it and have santa(ups) deliver it right to your door for $125. Let me know if you're interested.

If that one does not work I have a rudder off of an 85 SN that will work as well.

Hey Guys,
I know this is an old chain, but... Are either of those 11a rudders still available? Would either come with a port? I need one for a 96 176 conversion. Is the tabbed rudder a big improvement? Is it designed to adjust for tracking? Thanks, Don |

That would be great. Is it in good shape? Does it come with the rudder port as well? Could you send me a picture or 2? Would paypal work for payment?
Thanks, Don |
