    3/16" Offset Strut/Rudders (2)

    These are paid samples from a manufacturer that I don't intend to use.

    Look like they could be used in a variety of applications. The sharp part of the blade is 2 3/4" and is thin and sharp. Perhaps good for high speed applications.

    The struts have thick solid bushings that are water cooled via the lower pickup. Neat to see a water cooled strut...

    So there are two of them, identical aside from the adjustable arm on one of them;

    SOLD! $30 with the adjustable side arm
    SOLD! $25 with the solid arms

    Arms can be moved from left or right depending on side preferred. Very nice smooth polished finish and all stainless hardware. Looks like they can be reconfigured a number of ways. Very solid and sturdy rudder positioning with break away screw.

    Shipping $5 for one or both.

      Probably not well. The struts don't appear deep enough for a large catamaran.

          The strut has a tilt adjustment, top hole is slotted to allow it to angle up or down.

          The bolt pattern is about 1" x 1". The arms are 3" long and the strut is about 2 3/4" long.

            So the rudder must be 5 or 6" long? I'm thinking about this for my delta force vortex 24"...
            one more question: It is aluminum, right?

              It's aluminum.

              The rudder is 3 3/4" long from tip to top. It's a sharp thin blade with a taper at the back and without the drag of a water pickup.

              I think it would fit on that hull for sure.

                    Do you think they would work on an ovalmaster 26?
                    If so I'll take the adjustable one
                    Thanks

                              Lenny- It's about 4" from the tip of the bracket to the tail of the rudder.
