Somewhere between 8" and a foot, can't remember exactly.

No, the C-Trim mount is a plastic plate (with mouldings to take the pins 
the rudder pivots on) which is screwed into place (I assume into the 
original hull fibre), and then the whole thing was sealed originally 
with resin though after the original started leaking a few years down 
the line I re-did it with high grade silicone sealant (Sikaflex, not 
cheap but very good)
