Added and tested out the sailing rudder
OMG
What a difference ?
Really turns on a dime
Much smaller turning radius


Never wouda thought it would work since its for sailing

Thanks for the great suggestion

I don't have the drive, so I don't know if I need to trim this forward or not.

While we are on the subject of rigging and deck lay out i want to show you how I ran my (2) fish finder wires through the yak.

On the Adventure there is a T- Cleat in the forward section of the well that can be unscrewed. I removed it and drilled a hole just big enough to pass the FF Wires through the hole.
-Then I slid a tapered bushing over the wires and press fit it into the hole to make it water tight. The bushing is a perfect fit, and does not move. It can be found at Marshall's Industrial Hardware $2.69 ea.

Making it easy for the fellow fisherman.;)

BTW
If you are planning on mounting the ram Tube Rod Holders on the rails....
Let me draw to your attention the Right Side Ram Tube. Notice it is mounted slightly forward as compared to the Left Side.
This is done for the bolt, nut, and washer to clearance the pad eye you see in the pic.
