LATHAM RUDDER SYSTEMS are the ultra-high performance rudders in the industry today and some of the fastest boats in offshore racing are using Latham Marine’s racing rudder. All the components including the rudder blade, the transom support bracket and even the attaching studs are all designed to withstand extreme shock loads that are prevalent in offshore racing. Another unique feature is the Latham exclusive ‘quick change’ design which allows the rudder to be changed without the need to remove and re-align the two outer pintle plates that sandwich the blade associated with most rudder designs. The kit includes the rudder blade, transom support bracket, steering cylinders and mounts and attaching studs.
