[QUOTE="SV, post: 31649, member: 347"] I screwed some 2x4's together sandwiching a 1x6 rudder about 24" long and mounted it to the transom with c-clamps tonight. It was completely below the bottom of the boat. The wind was blowing around 15mph and it was still trying to spin the stern around especially with a tailwind, going into the wind was not bad but I still need at least twice the rudder. The stern lifts up about a foot if I am between the bow and the front seat. My plan was to deck the front of the boat and have a seat and bow mount TM. Now I am questioning if I really want the TM on the bow. It is a real PIA to beach the boat and that is the only method I have right now...I am too broke to build a boat dock. Of course, if the TM is on the transom there is no point in decking the boat. I need to take a step back and think about it. [/QUOTE]
