Crawled back a few feet into the lazzerette to study the rudder stock.
There appears to be a large-ish metal box that is bolted to a couple-inch thick pad made flat against the deadrise of the hull which the rudder stock sticks up through...
Is there a packing gland somewhere?
Is the inside of the box filled with seawater?
Is the top of the box at about the waterline eliminating the need for a packing gland?
Is there a technical drawing of such a rudder arrangement?
Information would be appreciated...
