ABSTRACT:
A rudder assembly for a boat including a rudder shaft rotatably mounted to a boat and inclined downwardly and rearwardly. A rudder blade is attached to the lower end of the shaft and a plate is attached to the lower edge of the blade. The inclined shaft permits control of the rudder assembly from the central portion of the boat while allowing the rudder blade to be disposed near the stern for improved control. The plate provides for increasing resistance to the flow of water as the rudder blade is moved to the left or right of the straight-on position.
