we touched on this in another post off topic so wanted to dive into it a little deeper I enclosed my whole rudder assemble in plexy glass box and lubed and O ringed my ruder shaft the Box is air tight my thought was this would keep it dry now I’m wondering. Okay come on this is where you bust my bubble (again) leter rip [:0]

Ruder than who? Ive always thought that people who shot BBs into my ship were ruder than people who didn't As for your rudder, when outside pressure gets high enough, water will come in via the stuffing tube.
I'm afraid that if you sink in deep water, it won't matter what way you sink. Pressure is pressure. The interior of the 'watertight' rudder box is at atmospheric pressure. Anything under the surface is a a greater pressure than that. Go deep enough, and the air in the box will get compressed. Compress it enough and the water will come in. This is not doom and gloom, he just needs to check the box for dryness after every sinking.
Say joker you going to have a class on how to sink right because I probably should take it if you do[]
I used golden rods from my waterproof box to my rudder connections. At the rudder end of the golden rods I made 2 pots out of the little plastic containers that exacto blades come in. These are filled with grease. They have not allowed water to pass through the golden rods and into the water tight box. This method has been sink tested with my Alabama a number of times over the past 6 or so battling seasons. Thanks,
