Hi and welcome to Anglers Net.

 

Some photos would really help.

 

Meanwhile, I'm moving this to a place where more bait boat members will see it.

simply join the rudders together with a hinged rod

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

Can You Buy These. If So Where From

 

You can buy most things from your local model shop, or for mail order I use Sussex Model Centre You are looking for something like a double swivel socket linkage

 

It all depends on the geometry of the boat, if you are using one hull or two. If the servo lays between the rudders the simplest linkage is two bike spokes joined together by solder or whipped and glued. A better approach might be to use a servo per rudder and use a 'Y' lead from the receiver.

 

I hope this helps
