General Discussion / Source for Pearson 28-2 rudder
« Last post by Bird Dog on April 27, 2024, 12:09:09 AM »Dropped the rudder on my 1986 Pearson 28-2 to investigate a rust stain coming down from the top. Boat yard is of the opinion water is getting in from the top seam. I'm weighing all options; split it open to investigate and see if it is repairable (preferred), or worst case, buy a new rudder. But looking at similar sized boats, a new rudder comes with some sticker shock!
Thing is, I have not found anyone who sells a rudder for a 28-2. Any ideas if it is hull specific, or if the same rudder was used on other models? Starting from scratch on this... Any recommendations where to find one?
Thanks
Ben

Sails and Canvas / Re: loose or fixed foot
« Last post by Alma on March 25, 2024, 08:52:44 PM »I have a brand new North mainsail loose footed.
It is fantastic and if you haven't priced North lately you may be in for a pleasant surprise.

« Last post by Last Resort on March 19, 2024, 12:00:32 AM »Loose fit is the way I've been taught and told since I started sailing in 2007, and works out great for me with the 2 boats I've had, especially the
Pearson 31-2. It's the way I would go.

P303 / Re: p303
« Last post by chuck stas on March 15, 2024, 10:13:01 AM »It's the original engine Yanmar 2gmf. 13hp diesel.
The Zink I put on last year seems to be working.
If I replace the shaft at some point Ill make it about 2" longer.
Right now don't fix it if its working.
Thanks for getting back to me.
