Default Ideas for connecting water rudder

I am just about done hooking up my first float plane. It's a SIG 1/6 cub, and I'm not sure the best way to go about rigging up the rudder. The floats are already fiberglassed, so mounting a servo in the float is not really an option for me. I actually had a servo mounted in the rear of the float, but some one talked me out of it, so I closed it up before fiberglass sing. I know I can run a snake type linkage from inside the plane off of the rudder servo, but not sure how, especially with a pull pull set up. If anyone can maybe post a pic or two of a similar setup, I would really appreciate it. The servo on the left in the pic is the rudder.thanks a lot, Steve.
