Is the ISO rudder the same size as the Boss rudder? I have just bought a Boss with no rudder, stock or tiller Thanks Philip |

Rudder blade - no - BOSS much bigger
Lower stock - yes believe so
Upper stock - yes believe so
Tiller arm - BOSS probably longer - but could probably get away with ISO version

Small correction to Bob's reply.
The Boss tiller is shorter than the ISO tiller. Mind you the tiller extension makes up for any shortfall. |

Ignore the part A / B / C. This was used for reference in an email to a friend of mine.

Thanks Pete now I know what Im after. How much bigger is the Boss blade than the ISO blade and what difference would a shorter ISO blade make if used on a BOSS. Thanks PhilipH |

A shorter blade would firstly force you to keep the boat chuffin flat at all times! As soon as the boat heels slightly, due to the distance from the side to the point at which the blade is located on the transom, there would be not much blade left in the water.
Not sure about any other reasons. |
