I am looking to save room on my boat, how well do the micro or mini servos work for the marine application?

It depends on the size of the rudder and the 'leverage' provided by the tiller arm.
You are in danger of stripping the gears if the servo isnt up to the job.
I wouldnt try to control a rudder with a micro servo if its bigger than say 2" square.

lots of good micro servos out there...try United Hobbies/Hobby City (good prices) and do search... compare for size, torque, speed, gear material-plastic vs. metal
