New rudders, rudder blades, and rudder stocks are usually available to fit the majority of standard Freeman Cruisers that need replacing with several held in stock.

When replacing a rudder blade you will most likely require new bronze studs to fasten the rudder on the stock. Rudder stocks can split at the fork where the blade joins and should be examined for repair suitability. Sometimes the rivets loosen and the blades need to be tightened but if there appears to be more serious damage or electrolysis has set in then a new rudder is usually the only option. Look for signs of 'pinkness' and pitting in the blade close to the stock.
Many underwater components are covered by marine insurance so it is a wise idea to check your policy details to see if you are covered for accidental damage.
