why would you put a shroud extender as a connection of your furler?
I would (and do) just tie a 3mm dyneema or vecrtan line

Since my mast stays up 24/7 365 days a year I wanted something more durable than the rope Portuguese turnbuckle. This seems it would do the trick? -

If my boat were on dry land, I probably would. As stated, it is a Royal PITA to stand in waist deep water, (your furler is now above your head), barely able to reach where the knot would be. For a season I laid a plank across the hulls so I could reach, that got old, real fast, hence the extender.
I can now tension the rig, & the jib in about 10 seconds.

gotcha
Is the original poster docking his cat?
PS G-cats have front tramps (unless removed) that he could stand on if he needed to lower his jib on the water -

My only reason for putting the extender on is.... I guess strength?? A lot of high winds in my back yard. Yes I am on land and not hard to reach the Portuguese turnbuckle. -

Here is the pic of the metal covering a rubber piece on the nose of my starboard hull, anyone know if it is something I can order or do I need to fabricate one? Missing the one on the port hull...

no offence but That does not look like a patch nor marine-tex job to me.
I would not use that in water until it is fixed correctly - that look like serious damage that needs to be done right or will come back and need more attention later
1. I would put that in the fl sun for a few days (remove at night and rain) to dry out completely
2. grind all that damage out
3. add multiple layers of (Fiber)glass laid up with epoxy
(cut up 1 big piece that fills most of the area, then a smaller one, and so on... (probably 5 or so..per side)
if you try to patch that... your patch will eventually fail (due to shrinkage and poor mechanical bonding) and you will again introduce water into your rudder... which will eventually fail too if you keep getting it wet
(IMHO, YMMV)
om closer look .. it looks split too.
i would create
grind the sides clean,
create a shim out of glass and epoxy
dremmil out a nice channel for the shim
then apply glass as mentioned above
sand
gelcoat or paint
fair
lots of youtubes out there
one of my favs
