Thanks for the Video. A question: wont the two rudders interfere to one another? I guess that depends on the mounting. Any recommendations for setup on the Fisher-sterns?
Sorry just picked up on this question. With our set up there is actually no interference at all. We have our Hydrovane fitted right on the stern. So long as the main shaft is vertical you can fit it wherever you like. It simply works AND. you have an extra rudder if you have any steering problems. I have heard of a story of a boat getting home on a trans ocean passage after a main steering failure, using the Hydrovane. I would give up a lot of kit on my boat before getting rid of my Hydrovane. By the way she is called Vera - Vera the Steerer.
Many thanks Alan, very well presented here. Dare I say I liked that chap's presentation? (well I would, wouldn't I?)
