Just thinking what servo to get for my boat build, ideally waterproofed. Pic shows type of rudder I have in mind and it's approximate size.
Thanks for mentioning Futaba. A RTR boat setup I had some years ago had one and I never had any issues with it. The completely new scratch build I'm working on now won't be a racing boat, so won't need very sudden or hard turns - as long as it enables a stable and smooth turn, that's my main consideration; the other is that the height of the servo plus servo arm is 20mm less than the height of the rudder tube.Back in the day when I had boats ,I only had to use a standard Futaba 148 's servo ,other than the todays new waterproof servo's ,
I don't think that you need a high output servo for a rudder or turn fin ,but might want one with faster speed response!

Great! Problem solvedThey make low profile servo's!
