If anyone can take a look at this picture and help me understand how the connecting rod is supposed to pass through the transom and operate the rudder. The way it is shown, the rod would move front to back and also move side to side and require a very elongated hole through the transom. I'm not sure how that boot would work in an elongated hole. Also the hole would be through the cut-out in the rudder mount area where it fastens to the transom. There doesn't seem to be enough space for the side to side travel of the rod.
