Title: rudder aluminum or plastic
Post by: soprano on February 05, 2016, 01:02:28 PM

I'm looking for a rudder for my 12jg. But I'm curious as to performance wise what's the benefit of having the aluminum over the plastic I get that the plastic one will break away an the aluminum will not as easy. but performance wise what's the difference? And does anybody have one for sale

Hi Saprano I have a brand new aluminum one if your interested. I have broken a few plastic ones. Contrary to how allot of other people's boat handle. My boat tracks allot better in the long no wake zones with a rudder.
