RE: Counteracting prop walk

AS it was built as a launch , lots of close work, Out Navy Utility has an item I never saw before.

A "backing rudder" which is a bronze cone (like a megaphone) mounted on its own shaft that helps in backing control. It is mounted in front of the normal rudder and turns as it does.
