Rudder System for Kayak

Complete Rudder System for Kayaks.

Rudder, Mounting Bracket, Rudder Lever and Cables are included.  

The Complete Rudder System for Kayaks comprises a rudder, mounting bracket, rudder lever, and cables. This system is designed to facilitate the use of a rudder for kayaks, including inflatable pedal kayaks such as the FPK365V2.

The rudder is integrated into an aluminum mounting bracket, engineered to slide into a gear track system, akin to those utilized for removable fins in inflatable Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boards and kayaks. Installation involves a straightforward sliding and locking mechanism.

Additionally, the rudder lever can be securely affixed to an optional gear track. These components come pre-installed in the latest FPK365V2 pedal inflatable kayaks. However, the rudder system is adaptable for DIY installation on various other kayak models.

Customers receive a complimentary storage dry bag as a free gift with their purchase. For non-FPK365V2 kayaks, attention should be paid to the length of cables, which may require extension for longer kayak models.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Installation methods may vary, including adhesive bonding or alternative attachment mechanisms, depending on the customer's preference.

Question: Can the provided rudder be replaced with a different type of rudder?

Answer: Yes, the rudder features a standard diameter pin and can be replaced with a different rudder if necessary.
