In Response To: Re: Rudder ??? (John F.)

John-You can get your boat down to 2 kts on one engine? I'm pretty sure you must have gas power as I can't do that with my Cummins at 700 rpms on one engine. You'll steer better with the bigger rudders but don't expect miracles at 2 kts. It's if you're forced to come home on one engine and when you're running normally when you'll really feel the difference. It takes a volume of water passing over the larger surface of the rudders that does it. I'm jealous that you can go that slow. Walter
