    Where to mount rudder on delta force 29

    I'm using a speed master stinger strut and rudder combo on a deltaforce 29. Where is the best place to put the rudder height and distance from strut.

    Here is good reference. The stinger strut should be about 3/8-1/2" off the bottom of the keel.
    Rudder should be just below the top and bottom deck seam line.
    I shortened my stinger by about an 1" so the prop was inline with the rudder when looking at the side view of the boat.

        Hacksaw and then used a piloted counterbore tool to ensure the end was flat. You don't need to get it dead flat unless you plan on using it is a thrust surface.
