About this boat
GRACE is one of my own imaginary vessels, a retired fishing vessel which is now owned by a Scottish missionary who frequents remote regions bringing supplies and the gospel. It also supports Trans World Radio Canada via its radio broadcasts.

The photo shows the 9gram rudder servo in a Mary Ann which was a decorative model and during the refurbishment.
I had an idea I could also use them to switch the points (turnouts) on my not yet working OO gauge model railway.
There is also a 12gram servo smaller and more powerful than the older standard servos I have on a small sailing yacht for the rudder control.

I always had trouble with my shrimp cutter, Aline, in windy conditions.
Now I’ve seen the simple way you solved that.
It’s actually quite simple, yet effective...
The kinds of ideas you find here...
Your Michel-C.
Thank you for you kind words.
No most of the model was built by someone else from a kit. A fellow from the boat club bought it in an estate sale. We were both putting in offers for it, unbeknownst. After Rod owned it but couldn’t see how to link up the rudder, he gave it to me.
I added LED lights, some paint, and changed some things to make it as it appears today.
Here are before and after photos.
