: I know this has been posted here before. Sorry but I need more
: info,pics and directions on how to make and setup a under stern
: retractable rudder that is easy to make and low maintenance. My
: next kayak will be a stripper surf ski design. What I've seen on
: the net and here seems to be confusing for me new to rudders.
: Not very good drawing to reproduce not really knowing much about
: them. I'm thinking a under rudder would be better in rougher
: water, but more complicated than a rear mount. Iv seen drawings
: of drum rudders but there not really enough. kirk

Oh yeah, understern rudder can be slightly smaller due to the end plate effect of the hull, so can be less drag.
