Hello All,
If it weren’t for bad luck I’d have no luck. After fixing shaft seal and replacing bad fuel injector, me and my mechanic took boat on test run. Discovered trim tab brackets were broken so I ordered new ones. Diver came out to replace and let me know that the port side rudder is missing (sheared off). No idea how this happened since only time boat was taken out since cleaning last month was the above mentioned test run. During run there was no indication of issues with steering, just boat would not get on plane due to broken trim tabs. Need to find replacement rudder before I pull boat. Along with attached pics I have the survey description (see below). Only possibility is that when hurricane passed us a couple weeks back (no damage in Jacksonville) I noticed that my AC sea strainer was full of mud though I had just cleaned day before hurricane, telling me there was an extremely low tide and it sat deep in mud, possible putting stress on rudder and shearing it off.
Has anyone replaced a rudder for the 360 and if so do you have a serial number. Trying to pre order before pulling it from water. Diver couldn't see serial number on remaining rudder and is going to come back try and see if missing rudder is below.
If you did get a new rudder, where did you purchase from.
Edit: forgot to attach pics. Pics are from original survey earlier this year. A little advice I need to take. GET SERIAL NUMBERS FROM EVERYTHING BELOW THE WATERLINE LOL.
Thanks!!
From Survey.

Re: 2003 Carver 360 Rudder
You should be able to get the shaft size from inside the boat. You could then try some of the marine salvage yards in the state to see what pairs of rudder they might have matching the shaft size. They might even have rudders from Carvers in similar years and sizes to yours that would work.

Re: 2003 Carver 360 Rudder
Well that is bad luck for sure.......you are in the right state though , plenty of yards there. One thing, when you get the old part off, examine it to see if there was any corrosion which may have contributed to the break.
FWIW.....The above is just my opinion.....
