rudder pix

these pictures were for the shipwright who is making me a new rudder - had stripped the rudder down to clear out old, waterlogged, foam and then rebuilt it with new foam, but water got in again, and this time there was rust coming out, so went for a new one.

Difficult for me to interpret whats up with the rudder Ron. Has the retaining bolt been wearing out the rudder so that its virtually come away?
