Great feedback guys, thank you! I now have a source to order the replacement boot. Hoping when we remove the rudder an access window won't have to be cut. We will be careful to keep outward tension on the cables.

You can make a little hook out of a coat hanger then slip it in between the fin and rudder and hook the dump valve actuating arm and give it a pull in order to seat a leaky tail valve............glad my days of dealing with leaky water valves are over!
