I want to replace the original rudder assembly on my 1950s / early 1960s wooden Sunfish with a modern assembly. Just not holding in strong wind anymore. I am willing to install an inspection port in the stern deck but I am worried that there might be a structural piece on the centerline. I am not finding any info about how best to install the backing plate. Any recommendations?
