maineoscarfish,
To tell you the truth, I can't remember seeing one advertised. A single point type mounted rudder, yes, but not the other (and don't take that for more than it's worth). It would seem that for rudders of that type, the builder makes them. Shouldn't be all that difficult, but then I'm not doing it, huh?

It would be simple enough to build one.
Some people epoxy wood around a brass rod and sand it to shape.
Others have soldered a thin brass shape to the rod, then sandwitched it with wood.
I typically cut a rudder shape from 1/16th inch thick brass sheet then silver solder that to an
1/8"-5/32nd inch brass rod.[quote]It would be simple enough to build one.

It could be done something like how the prop guard is installed in the images below.
