Answer Hi Chris.
Ok I would suggest a magazine or 2 for a start these very often have pictures of the things you are asking.
also manufactures catalogue do you have a model shop near home if not do some surfing and you will find any number of other peoples boats and how they are put together .
I think what you are looking for is a strudder this is a all in one bracket that holds the rudder and shaft end and positions the prop just were you need it !
Young people do need help at this stage or they get fed up very soon . go for the surfing ---
or get back to me .
Good luck.
Martin
