WHY USE MARINE SPECIALTIES HBR DUAL RUDDER OUTDRIVE?

Quality and design. Strut angle and depth as well as rudder pivot angle are crucial to good boat performance. Once optimum settings are obtained you want them to stay put. Marine Specialties hardware secures these critical parts with two fine thread (#8-32) fasteners instead of the more common practice of one coarse thread (1/4-20) fastener. This results in much higher clamping pressure, holding critical adjustments secure during the most severe use. Also, Marine Specialties safety shear rudder feature allows the rudder blade to swing free, after shearing a shear pin, leaving the rudder pivot block and steering linkage unaffected, thus maintaining the critical rudder pivot angle adjustment. Most other designs “break away” by rotating the entire rudder and pivot block about their single mounting bolt which will upset or destroy the steering linkage and rudder pivot angle adjustment.
