On the 1968 34 that I just bought 1 of the rudders is frozen in place. While trying to free it up 1 of the bolts that go thru the hull broke and now I'm going to replace all 4. I need to know how long to buy the bolts.
Anybody knows the length?

Pull an old one and measure.
There was variances back then.Scott

Boat is in the water. I bought 4” and 6” carriage bolts.

Made of what? Did you get silicon bronze?
I think the 4 should work for length but not sure if they were carriage bolts.Scott

They are SS. I will replace them with silicone bronze when I haul out.

If the rudder is frozen in place, then you need to haul and fix it right. Just putting in some bolts is not going to take care of the problem.
