ABSTRACT:
An improved dual rudder system for use with marine vessels is provided that provides both steering and attack angle adjustment. Specifically, the dual rudder system of the present invention may be adjusted so the rudders can be positioned in a toe-in position for lowering the stern and a toe-out position for raising the stern. In addition, the dual rudder system of the present invention also provides steering capabilities. The two rudders are disposed on opposing sides and substantially aft of the propeller. The system is especially useful for inboard motorboats having a propeller shaft that passes through the rear portion of the hull.
