    I am new to The Crew, and just brought home a 99 SSLXi a few months ago. I immediately noticed the bilge was running way too often, so i dug in and found a leak next to the rudder box. Water is pouring in the boat. I dont see any major issues underneath the boat next to the rudder, but i clearly see cracks next to the box on the inside the boat. The rudder shaft/packing assembly is not leaking at the bolts or the shaft, rather its the black fiberglass are that is sunk around the box and has visible cracks. The area doesnt look pretty as-is, black resin rough surface, sunken around the rudder box. Any help or recommendations to fix this would be greatly appreciated! Do i need to fix fiberglass on the hull or outside of the boat? Can i use some type of sealant at the crack only? TIA

    Hello: Have an 06 LXi. 500ish hours and no problems, until yesterday with Rudder/Steering Cable/Starter issues. Started the process for a steering cable replacement (any good DIY pic/articles/video appreciated for a LXi) and found the Rudder is nearly frozen stiff. Can the Rudder Box (I think that's what it is called, rudder goes in to/thru) be rebuilt on a RLXi? The Zerk fittings are rusted/blistered (we do use it occasionally in salt) and for sure we overlooked greasing it! Any tips on removing the rudder w/out removing the gas tank? My brother in law is (co-owner) is a solid 9/10 mechanically, so we are trying to DIY it and stay away from a whole Rudder Assembly. Any direction/plan of attack is appreciated. Thanks ! Tom
