Q1 Has anyone gone so far as to build a new rudder or have suggestions on w=
ho might build them or have a mold?  Attempting to remove Silvergirls rudde=
r in order to replace the bushings, the post was so worn, ridged and distor=
ted that it could not be removed without grinding significant portions of t=
he post down.  I think the best plan for me is to start anew.

Q2- I'd like to install an auto-pilot.  I would like to stay in the Garmin =
family, but have only heard of Raymarine EVO-200's being installed on the F=
rers 33.  Do any of you have suggestions for an auto pilot?

Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
Jay
