More SS Ruddershafts
Colm, building one of my 31′ trimarans, came up with two sources of thick wall stainless ruddershaft suppliers.
“I bought my 304 rudder shaft from tube service co: www.tubeservice.com. It was 299 for 6′ of 1.5 od with 0.375 wall. Recently I was quoted the same tube in 316 from penn stainless: www.pennstainless.com Quote was 380.
