EPIC V8 Rudder Question

I would like to glue the weed guard onto my boat (EPIC V8), right now I have the standard rudder. I have the V-Series Surf Rudder ordered, however it's back ordered. My question is; is the spacing between trailing edge of the weed guard and leading edge of both rudders the same where they would matchup with weed guard?

I assume you mean the surf rudder (elliptical shape).

If so there is a length difference. However if you have the surf rudder weed guard you will be fine to glue it as close to the leading edge of the universal rudder, as that is the longer one.

You will however have a increasing gap from the hull outwards as the angle of the two rudders is different, but with the surf rudder it will match.

Hi,
Here is a picture of the 3 Epic rudders:
Surf (Larger elliptical rudder)
Universal (Middle), and
Weedless (smallest)

The shaft to leading edge measurements are 30, 35, 30 respectively.

So if you position the weed guard now, with the Universal rudder in place, the gap between the trailing edge of the weed guard and the leading edge of the surf (when you install it) will be 5mm greater than it is now with the Universal.

So get it in close with the Universal.

Thank you
