Update on single T200 fishing kayak setup.
I have removed the tiller tilt linear actuator setup and replace it with a Bansbach Gas Spring damper. It is rated at 7 pounds of force. This allows the tiller to stay in place in both the reverse direction but if the tiller and/or thruster hits something the tiller will lift up.
I replace the winch servo gearbox setup with a “waterproof” servo.
HS-646WP Waterproof Servo (Standard Size)
Also, I had some lengths of carbon fiber tubing so I thought I would replace the tiller and thruster drive shaft on my previous version with carbon fiber tubing. Not sure the reduction in weight is really worth the cost of the carbon fiber tubing but since I had some I couldn’t resist. 
The bottom line is this new version weighs in at 5.3 pounds.
I am about ready to test out a 2 T200 thruster version using passive vectoring (skid steering). Hopefully, it will work out and I will have something to show for the effort. This is a proof of concept version using ServoCity components and any final version will look a lot different.
