Rudder
Seeker's rudder turns water flow into the force needed to change course. Hydraulic cylinders controlled by the autopilot can direct its movement or it can be moved manually with the wheel through a chain and cable system.

Lessons
- Measure Before Redesign Don't redesign because people think you're wrong. Redesign because reality proves you're wrong.
- Reality Is the Final Judge Opinions don't float boats. Measurements do. Listen to everyone. Believe the evidence.
