| Kitchen Rudder you have got to love this OLD THREAD Kitchen rudder How have times changed ZF gearboxes have become undeniabily expensive! Oil going to US$ 120.00 per barrel. Boats will go at 5 to 8 knots or stay home. When i read this i salute the "old" boys - this is what i have been looking for and finally found it, i posted some time ago ZF gear boxes for 10 to 15 hp simple forward / neutral / reverse and all the replies where stupid, ebay, second hand, car, etc. Here is the very good answer! Simple air cooled 10hp diesel (rope start) and a kitchen rudder  Building cheaper boats? Better start looking at alternatives  |

| Manie, If SWMBO had not cut all funding for R&D I would have a nice little 20 footer with a box keel, powered by a small air cooled diesel, and controlled by a tiller operated Kitchen rudder. The idea gets little traction because everyone wants a boat that goes fast even if it stays tied up to the dock. ;-) Gary
