the only problem with potentiometers is most are rated only 10,000 cycles. Every time the rudder changes direction is a new cycle, which is not very long at sea. You can get much more expensive ones rated up to 10 million cycles which would be good for years? hall sensors are actually cheaper and easier to waterproof and don't wear out.
