I'm still not satisfied with the pushrod from servo to rudder. The servo is still moving the floor of the boat. I was thinking about using a piece of welding copper. I can route it perfect from servo to rudder.
Let me bactrack and re-phrase my answer on this . . . I also noticed some binding (still) even with the bent pushrod. I concluded that the servo is sitting high in proportion to the hole.
I will take out the plywood base mount and glue the servo direct to the hull and see if that will solve the problem. From my initial trial fitting, it looks to have solved the problem.
But let me glue the servo and report back to confirm it's success or failure.
