WILL THE BULLNOSE RUDDER COLLECT GRASS AND WEEDS AROUND THE SHAFT?

The Bullnose Rudder shouldn't collect any "additional" weeds and grass then what you would normally have issues with when trolling through such areas. It has a close fit on the shaft and a narrow profile, so it shouldn’t be the cause for collecting any "extra" weeds. In fact we have a customer review that states "even when motoring through thick grass and lily pads this rudder is solid".
