I've been told that hollow shaft rudders can not be repaired. Is this true? I would like to also cut off approx. 6" from the bottom of the rudder as it is lower than the trunk. With the swing keel lowered I draw about 7'-0" but when it is up the rudder is the lowest part of the boat. By cutting off the lower 6" will it affect the preformance by much?
