[quote=Dogboy]As long as the old rudder worked properly, then yes it is better than the paper template. I recommend screwing or clamping down at least two pieces of 2x4 or similar lumber to your work bench, one along the top of the blade and the other along the leading edge. Then put the old blade down on top of the new one and push them up against the 2x4 “stops.” This will ensure that the edges of the blades are lined up with one another. If you have a drill press, just mark the hole locations on the new blade and then use the drill press to drill the holes. If you’re using a hand drill, then you can use the old blade as a drill guide, but you will probably want to clamp both blades to your work bench so you don’t have to simultaneously hold the rudders and guide the drill.
