24V Bent Rudder Shaft!?!?!?!?

[kbunch]

Does anyone know where I can order a replacement rudder for an 2004, 24V? My wife and kid found the only rock or something near the launch while i was getting the truck, slightly tweaking the prop and bending the rudder shaft to the rear of the boat. Measuring the gap between the hull and top of the rudder shows about 1/4 difference between the front and back of the rudder to the plate. The rudder does NOT touch the hull. After getting the prop reconditioned everything seems to work ok, but I dont feel warm and fuzzy about the rudder shaft. I am OCD by knowing it is not right. anyone have any advice?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the rudder. That would suck but I have had my share of damaged props also. The only rock for yards and you have to "reach out and touch it"

Oh you fail to understand and have it all wrong. Rocks that have spent their life underwater have developed their own special skills to retaliate against those that disturb their water. The rocks "reach out and touch you" then settle back and feign ignorance of the entire event. The rocks demand a sacrifice. Throwing a virgin propeller into the water has been known to appease the rock gods much as virgins did for volcano gods. I know. I sacrifice a prop about every two years.
