[quote=Dogboy]Are they original EPO rudders or one of the later sets?
I had a set of EPO II rudders on my boat for a little while and they simply would not balance out right. On one tack, they would go from feeling OK to swapping to lee helm. Sometimes there was weather helm. And they could feel "sticky" at times. The stickiness was probably from the flow separating and then re-connecting. The rudders were just too thin (noticeably thinner in the casting than my original EPOs) making the boat very squirrely and unpleasant to sail. Changing the rake didn't help. If I raked the rudders back, there was too much weather helm. If I brought them forward, the helm would become inconsistent. Just a bad set of rudders. I put a set of original EPOs back on, and the boat felt great again.
