A double rudder system combines the advantages of a powerful servo-pendulum system and an auxiliary rudder which is independent of the main rudder to give the best possible steering performance. The main rudder is fixed in place and used for fine trimming the set course, leaving the double rudder gear to undertake course corrections free from any weather helm.

Lets start by identifying what exactly certain boats are. Sometimes the terminology can get lost on beginners, so well look at some of the most common boats and what theyre called. These boats are exactly what the name implies. They are meant to be used for fishing. Most fishing boats are powered by outboard motors, and many also have a trolling motor mounted on the bow. Bass boats can be made of aluminium or fibreglass.
