Hi, Alec -  that 316 SS wouldn't happen to be marine would it?  (as opposed to aircraft)

Excuse me if this is rather basic, but I'd highly recommend using 316 stainless for all your linkages. Anything that moves will also tend to rub it's paint off, and will rust within minutes in sea water. And linkages can be sized small enough that this doesn't break the bank.

Since my boat as designed is primarily a snorkel boat on the tiny diesel, dynamic flow over dive planes is critical to control.
 
I have in mind a mechanical linkage system similar to aircraft control surfaces with either a bell crank and pulley system or better yet a pushrod and torque tube system.
 
Individual control of the bow and stern planes as in the WWII boats is not really practical, so I am planning on an interconnection via either a single lever or a side mounted wheel. Very simple stuff, no hydraulics or electric motors.
 
I welcome comments and suggestions as every time I put something out, my design is improved tremendously as a result of the input.
 
Thanks
 
Joe
