Hi Vlad
cant help on the rudderbut, have fixed loose strut
the bronze strut is held in a pocket in the hull. the top of the strut
has 2 nut and bolts that are perpendicular to the fore aft alinement
of the strut
itself. It is basicly glassed in place ins the recess of the hull, I
dug the strut out from the bottom and had a local fiberglass guy
reinstall it using amix he called bog (short and chop strand). my cost
about $100 ,I would have spent that on material easy!
