Larry; I use a small window crank mounted on the cokpit side just behind my throttle quadrant to move a spring attached to my rudder cable as a trim. I purchased the window crank at a local hardware store for under $10.00. This crank, there are several different models available, is the type used in some campers and is readily available. The crank has a geared shaft that travels for and aft depending on the direction you turn the small 2 inch handle. This device comes complete with mounting hardware and was simple to attach and works great.
Just another idea, hope it helps.
