So I have a new to me 2009 AI with the older style twist N stow rudder. Was wounded if I can upgrade to the new style vertical up/down type? I dont think it would work very well because I dont have a full length flat transom mine has the 2" nub that extends off the transom just like my 2012 outback.

Sorry, no. The transom is not strong enough to handle the newer rudder.
