Hey Guys,
I have been mounting the hardware I am going to run and noticed that I could put the rudder linkage on either side of the rudder, so I got to thinking, what is best? I would think that I would want to pull on the linkage through the oval and so I would want the linkage on the right side of the rudder. I took a look a t a bunch of boats, including my own Revolt 30 and it is a crap shoot. The revolt is a push rudder linkage.
Is there a reason for one over the other?
Now that I am thinking about it, it looks like John has it mounted on the right side from the photo of the transom in the original build article. This is a plans-built boat, not the new ML kit.
Thanks,
Curtis
