    Hello...

    SD and CD - I would like to discuss Kort nozzles with a fixed rudder acting against a hydraulically feathering propeller - and I apologise profusely...:)

    Some Norwegian in heavy black plastic framed glassed applied same to a few Romsdal boats and it worked out great - as it did with boats in the Northern fishing fields of same...

    What thoughts...

    See Photo...

    Thank you in advance...

    SH.

    This system has been around for a long time and there is usually plenty of information from the many manufacturers about steering capabilities,towing (bollard pull) etc.,
