What are you guys running for hardware on your whiplash? The website recommends speedmaster 21 hardware. I purchased some 40 hardware from a member in anticipation of finishing my sport 40.

Thanks

Aron,

I did some research and was told the 40 size speedmaster rudder was too deep and to use a 20 size. I have on mine a 40 strut, 20 size rudder, and Blazer fin. I heard that the Virginia Craftsman fin works well since it is hard to get a original Blazer turn fin.

I have the speedster 40 hardware. Strut, Rudder and a Virginia Craftsman fin. The rudder blade does seem a little long compared to what I run on my outrigger. I know Charlie shortened his Rum Racing rudder on his Whip he just completed. Haven't been to the lake much to see how well it is doing.

Should I pick up a 21 rudder assembly or just cut the blade down on the 40 I have?

Thanks,

Aron
 
The Speedmaster 40 rudder blade is a little more drag than the Speedmaster 21 rudder blade. I would go with the 21 rudder blade. I have used the 21 blade on a Phil Thomas Sport 40 and have one on my MLBoatworks GP400 at this time. Cut the bottom of the blade so that the bottom of the blade is 3 1/4 inches below the bottom of the boat. Round off the bottom of the blade, also. The turn fin you have will work pretty good on your boat, too.

Aron,

I would just get a .21 rudder and call it good.

The Unfortunate thing is the the Mini and 21 rudder mounting is different from the 40 assy, so you have to get the whole assy.

I have a mini rudder on my PT sport 40 and seems to do good but I have ran the 21 rudder and work well as Dick described.

I have all in stock the SPDR-001-Hydro Is what they are talking about I believe.

If you look at them you will see the difference.Link below
