    Default ID some hardware anyone?

    Have a look at these pictures below...
    Can anyone name the manufacturer of these rudders and drives?
    I think the first one is a MTC rudder, and the second a speedmaster rudder.

    Looking to equip a MHZ Racemaster with either i Single Inline setup, or a dual rudder/single drive setup.
    Going into some rather uncalm water with this
    What would be a good distance from transom to leading edge of rudder in both setups?
    And distance from transom to drivedogs?

    Hope someone can share some experience with this boat size

    Thank you

    But I guess they are hard to get then. Looks like MHZ has pulled them from the shop.
    I do like the looks of the first one. MTC. Looks like 145mm from transom to leading edge. Isn't that a bit to long? Looks quite long.
    I am trying to find info about what rudder length I need + distance to transom. And also how long a strut I need.

    MTC product is nearly impossible to get at the moment. MHZ stocks some of it, so check there first. Don't even bother trying to order it directly from MTC. Still waiting nearly 8months for my last order. I believe MHZ has discontinued the Trimax drive.

    Thank you for that. Good info to get started with.


    Alfa, those rudders are massive!
    Should it be WD200 I would probably go with the smaller version.

    I don't dig the rudders, but the setup is sweet. I might go that way with some Werner or MTC hardware.
