: For my Mystery I turned some purple heart on the lathe, connected with a
: stainless tube. Housing and cables run under the deck. Stainless tube is
: 3/8" O.D. and the fin/sheave shaft is 5/16" dia.

: I would suggest making the tube connections stout and the rudder fin
: breakable so contact damage is not transferred to the hull.

: Best,

Hi Reg,
I've seen something like that on this board before and the fin was attached with magnets, so knock offable. Was that you that designed it?
