Paint For Rudder

[smitch6]

My rudder and framework seems to be made from mild steel, as it's quite rusty

seems strange to me to have them made that way as they sit under water obviously,

I will be anti-fouling them with a good couple of coats (apart from anodes)

but i did wonder if it was worth painting them with a waterproof under water paint?

does anyone know a paint that would work under water?

Surely it would be easier to lift the boat out of the water to paint it

You perfectionists 

Everyone knows that if you paint the Stern gear underwater you don't have to worry about the runs 

In the meantime smitch, seeings as you are in Lowestoft,  have a browse at Witham Paints website. They do some very good metal primers for underwater steel.
