Do i have to be worried? It is corrosion on the stem that goes in the rudder. Best Peter

Thank you.I will contact Jefa Steering.
I think the aluminium has received som antifoul, not much but it seems to be the explanation. Best regards Peterr

As far as I know, Jefa rudders are sold through. Given that, you would need a lot of corrosion to weaken the rudder to the point of danger. As suggested, share the pictures with Jefa. I did, and they said it was ok.
Just replacing it because it looks bad doesn't consider the actual physics or material science of the situation.

You should use antifoul on your rudder stock - as Jefa instructs (see the instruction sheet on their website). Just make sure it is a product that is ok for aluminum - and that it is applied correctly.
