Hi,
wondering if anyone can help or has any experience here. I have attached the photos of my old sharkfin/surf rudder on my fenn elite sl. This rudder worked great but got a bit old so I ordered a new elliptical shaped rudder from our local fenn dealer. They said that this was the correct rudder for the fenn elite sl (2014 model approx. I dont think they built many of these).
The new rudder fitted fine and the shaft length was correct leaving only about 1-2mm of play once tightened up. However it vibrates like crazy! I can feel it on the foot pedals as soon as I get to 10km/h. I can even hear it.
From the pictures you can see that the interface of the rudder to the boat is quite different from my old rudder. The new rudder seems to have a large gap at the back.
Anyone had any experience with this?
Thanks in advance.
