Just a quick note.
The system works.
Lock the rudder in place by just screwing down the knob.
Also works to make changing the rudder to put a bit more pressure on the handle. Helped me as I have a tendency to over steer. More pressure meant I could make finer adjustments without overcorrecting.
Also you don't have to have the knob locked down all the way to hold the rudder in place due to random water pressure on the rudder due to swells, etc. Doesn't work that well on a close haul tack in a high wind as the AI has a tendency to point up (may need a higher aspect rudder in these conditions???), but helps in most other situations.
Best thing was I could set up a straight course, and gain enough time to use two hands to rig my fishing poles without circling off to timbuktu .
If you mount this, move the apparatus closer to the pocket net. The 5-6" will help you when reaching fwd to the knob.
I will have to watch the spectra holes carefully to see what I can put in there per idavis suggestions.
