Rudder and Propulsion

Propulsion is achieved by a 12 Volt 52 Amp electric submersible outboard motor.  The rudder motion is achieved by turning the motor around it's normal axis and directing the thrust produced within an arc of +/- 30 degrees.

I'm not sure on the max speed of the sub yet, it'll be something to find out on the first test.
