Does anyone know a dual pickup rudder that fits the MG? Maybe one that will fit the stock rudder bracket? I really want to do a separate cooling line for the motor and for the esc. I would really rather run a dual pickup rudder than a second separate pickup, for drag reasons. Any help would be appreciated.

You can get the big 6 incher from here on OSE and hack off an inch and a half or so, I've done it once, works fine.

Do you have a part number? I want to use just the blade on the stock MG bracket.

You may need to modify.

Using a water pickup made of brass tubing in a sponson is a cheap and excellent way to add cooling that is hidden.

Here's the tapered one you can use, you can cut it off at the shadow edge where i put the line, or somwhere in there, then you smooth it out and shape the bottom of the rudder as you choose. You can buy the "blade only" for $24.95

Thanks wake. I'll be ordering that right now. I think that is the best way to go without drilling more holes in the boat, and without increasing drag.

you could try adding this to your boat, I'm seriously considering it on my mystic.
