    Dual water pickup for Miss Geico?

    Like the title says. What is a direct drop in, for a dual water pickup rudder for the Miss Geico?

        What rudder is that? If the length and mounting holes are same as stock, it should work...

          I just really wanted it cause it has 2 water pickups. If its to long I'll just cut it down. As long as the rudder itself's, where the pin goes thru to hold the rudder on is the same. I'll make it work. I might need to modify somewhat.

              The spartan only has a single water pickup. I'm wanting a double

                  I don't know who makes it? I just seen a dual water pickup blade and was wondering? Heres 2 on the OSE site.

                  I'd rather have the straight blade. Like I said earlier, all I need is just the blade. I already have an offset bracket on the way.

                      Stock setup? Why do you need another pickup?

                        I'm putting in a Leo 4082 2200kv with a Seaking 180a, plus in oklahoma the water gets hot during the summer. I just want a dual in, dual out setup for safety

                          Looks like that Spartan rudder should work for you Jason.Not cheap though.

                          If you look at this thread you can see it should be easily adaptable.http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...-Submarine!-X3!

                            Would it work better than one of the other 2 I have above

                              Just thinking that the rudder assembly would mount to the angled bracket that is attached to the hull.They are both flat side mounts as opposed to hoping the hinge pin assembly would interchange. Assuming this is what you were thinking?
                              Unless you were thinking of somehow mounting the entire rudder assembly.
