Another Sealion paddler with rudder here.  I use my rudder and I like
it. I really dont care what the purists think. I am out there because I
love the water and paddling, and if the rudder makes it easier, FINE! 
However on a lighter side, there is one problem I experienced with the
rudder.  While paddling down the Allegheny river, I paddled within 5
ft. of a deer, that was crossing the river in very shallow water.  My
aluminum rudder was down and struck a rock and alerted the deer of my
presence.  He had no idea I was there, he never saw or heard me until
then.  I was so close I could have petted him.  It was COOL!!!
