Spares and repairs

 

We try to always have the following spares in stock:

- Rudders

- Rudder cable and cable fasteners.

- Bungs

 

Fibreglass rudders are $50, carbon rudders are $100.

 

Check here to see how to replace a rudder.

 

I have found that about half of rudder cable replacements go smoothly, the other half are a pain for a variety of reasons. Due to specialized crimping tools you will need to bring the ski in to replace rudder cables. If this is not possible go to your local boating supplier who should have 2mm stainless steel cable and the necessary crimping tools. Make sure the crimping ferrules are nickle coated, plain copper ferrules corrode very quickly.

 

Replacement bungs cost $2 but I recommend taping up the bung hole with duct tape. That is what I do, it is a much more reliable solution that a removable bung.

 

We do not do fibreglass or carbon repairs. Please go to your local boat repair shop or try one of the following:
