Andrew, Thank you very much for your comment and help! I appreciate. So did you remove the rudder tube and install a new one instead of it or just repair? I am thinking that I can actually clean all the glass from inside around the tube to inspect it (while on the hard) and re do with flexible west epoxy. The only issue I have is that I have a feeling there can be actually rot in the tube itself as why should water come in from here? I have attached a picture to show where I found wet. With wet I mean one drop. I am sure its not the packing as packing area was dry.
