Mono Rudder Placement

[normlee]

Any ideas to advantages/disadvantages by having a rudder closer or further from the transom and vertical or angled to the centreline (say 10 degrees)

Thanks Norm

The further back, the more leverage on the boat. Square to the waterline is best.

I like mine to be close in and out of the propwash. If you need leverage, use a stronger servo.

In my experience, rudder placement depends on what boat you're running.

Thanks again,

So looking at the transom, if the rudder blade was angled anti clockwise (bottom of rudder was at 5 oclock instead of 6) what would this cause/effect?

Twin Craft use to run some of their boats setup that way. Maybe John Finch,Dick Tyndall will chime in. I would guess if they were doing that to their boats,it was to help boat go faster through the turns.
