Our boat was extremely difficult to turn a docking speeds. The designer specified a balanced rudder but the builder didn't build it that way.

We installed ss plate, 15 degree fishtails and the difference is amazing, very
pleased with them.

We tried the fishtails first because of simplicity,ease of installation (1/2hr. install) and no welding required as opposed to adding balance which would have been more time consuming and expensive
