Hi Sakib
As regards the rudders the theory is Ok but the wire used is very thin for a push/pull system. Also that vertical part of the bend is likely to flex a lot. Have you tried operating the servo and holding the rudder blades lightly? Also where the wire is bent to go into the arms it may spring out unless you have secured the ends on the underside which we can't see. Chris ๐ Like

Thanks a lot for the sharing,Chris!
Firstly, same here. I'm not sure how it will work or even if it will work or not. Hopefully the shafts wont bent, HOPEFULLY. And the rudder linkage, I'm not sure what you were talking about. I hope you will share some more ideas so i can do better with them. I live in Bangladesh and there's no Boat shop here. I am trying these ideas so i can know before opening a Boat shop/Hobbyshop. I do get the parts from China but bringing all the part's are kind of expensive so i tried to build some parts myself. R&D ๐ -Sakib ๐ Like

Given the slight angle of the rudders and the fact that they will cancel each out maybe they will be Ok.
Not so sure about the motor and prop shaft though! As well as being brass M2 is very thin and with flexible motor mounts you could very well get whip in the prop shaft which will give very bad vibration, particularly as the motors are high kV. Bit concerned about your motor mounting and rudder linkage! I don't know where you are but do you have difficulty in obtaining threaded stainless steel prop shafts? The motor and prop shaft always sound noisy when bench running, especially without the superstructure, but are much better once on the water. Be interesting to see how it works out but I wouldn't be surprised if you have problems and noise! Chris ๐ Like

I chose brass because it doesn't catch rust. And i had to cut some threads on the shaft. Brass is softer than SS.
I tried to thread my ss shafts but my drill machine can't handle it. I don't have lathe either so brass was my only option. Im putting some photos,there you can see i used brass shaft on them both and they didn't let me down,till now. ๐ So i had to keep faith! -Sakib ๐ Like

Sakabian, I like your setup, but find it hard to understand why you used brass for the prop shafts as brass is brittle and will snap very easily if there is any vibration or sudden shock from props hitting submerged obstacle.
Cheers Colin. ๐ Like
