ABSTRACT:
A transom mounted retractible rudder for sailboats or other small vessels. A rudder blade is pivotally mounted on a lower portion of a rudder stock. By means of a handle located adjacent the stern of the boat and connected through a linkage to the rudder blade, a crew member can raise and lower the rudder blade between a fully retracted position and a fully extended position. The handle and a dial on the rudder stock cooperate to provide an indication of the attitude and depth of the rudder blade at any given time.
