[QUOTE="bobberboy, post: 397454, member: 1417"] When I was a kid my folks owned a resort. My brothers and I had a 12' wooden flat bottom with this contraption we called a whale tail. It clamped to the transom like an outboard and was pretty much like a rudder with tiller handle but the rudder was made of rubber. As you nautical types would say, it worked by sculling (here in the mid-west we just moved it back and forth). It worked really well and moved the boat along nicely. I've been looking for an example on the internet but can't find one. The metal parts were aluminum and the tail was a stiff but still flexible rubber. tomme boy's idea is a good one and easy to do [/QUOTE]
