OK, I have *the* proper solution... 1/4" OD stainless tubing. This stuff is
used in panel shops to fabricate pneumatic and hydraulic control panels. They
will give away short pieces and will usually bend the L end on it for you with
their "no-crush" benders. Put small eyebolts on transom and rudder, slip a
longish pit of this tubing through the whole mess. Works a treat :-)
