General
With the introduction of the Catalina 34 Mark II the rudder was updated to be longer with an elliptical design. Some Mark I owners have updated their original rudders with a new Elliptical Rudder for more control and smoother handling.
Ron Hill has done his own impressive modification to the rudder on his Mark I with a Wing Keel.
