There was a January thaw in the Icebox today so I got outside and started mounting the rudder. I first cut a hole in the cockpit floor for an inspection port. Then I mounted rudder gudgeons on the stern. Then I drilled for the tiller mounting bolt. When it gets a little warmer, I intend to redrill the mounting holes slightly larger than the fasteners, fill the larger holes with thickened epoxy and redrill them again with the correct size bit in order to waterproof the edges of each mounting hole.
