Lock it straight and steer with the rudders. If they kick up even with the hull bottom, they won't impede in shallower water. You are more likely to chew up the prop. Protect the leading edges with a strip of metal for abrasion resistance. And no...you don't have to do a foil shape...a pair of simple barn door rudders will work fine. Use rope and pulleys for around the back of your wheel (on the shaft through the bulkhead) for steering.<br /><br />Steve LewisLewisboatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239609034757525383noreply@blogger.com
