Looks like we might have some new additions to the 250 rudder family from Catalina Direct:

I notice that they're Ida Sailor rudders - not Catalina rudders.

Anyone notice that intersting tid-bit about not leaving your rudder out in full sun!
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Caution: Never leave any rudder sitting in the sun in the back of your pickup. With half the rudder immersed while moored, water will dissipate any heat buildup. But while stored, heat may damage the rudder. A Fiberglass rudder may expand and split at the seams. A polyethylene rudder may warp. Always store your rudder out of the direct sun.

Makes me wonder if we should done a rudder bag while stored on the trailer!

???

Hey Paul.... the rudder warning has been long known and was very applicable on one of the C25 rudder designs... couldn't even leave the rudder lying flat on walkway deck boards in the hot sun.

The warning is more applicable if a rudder has dark bottom paint on it. I've not heard of any problems with a fully white rudder or one stored on the gudgeons and certainly one immersed in the water will not overheat... lets hope global warming doesn't ever get that bad.
