Description

Take your paddle session up a notch with the Solo Kayak Rudder Kit. This rudder will help you easily command your kayak and spend more time enjoying the water instead of fighting it. Fighting to keep a heading in strong winds or currents can be exhausting but with this simple Perception Kayak add-on, you won't be doing it alone. The rudder helps balance water weight against the kayak sides as you move, to keep you on a straight course in open water. While paddling in open water benefits from straight tracking, paddling in backwater spaces can require advanced maneuvering in tight areas. The sliding foot brace system lets you make quick, sharp movements all with just the use of your feet which gives you confident control. Pivoting the rudder with your feet creates instant directional drag to aid steering in any direction your adventures might take you.

    • Nice complete package for replacement
Color: Black Size: Long P"
Have an old chinook. Broke the pivot. This replaced all the lines foot controls hardware. The rudder is a plastic material. Foot rails are aluminum. Fasteners are stainless. It comes with turtle bungees to handle the rudder up and down lines awesome improvement from old. Instructions are extensive and cover multiple installations. Things to consider. My advice is to use whatever original equipment on your kayak if you do not have to replace. As example I wanted to change the foot pegs but the screws were frozen and I drilled them out the heat from friction melted plastic hull and I had to use a stainless fender washer to reattach the new foot pegs and rails. So be mindful of anything you really do not have to replace. Also plan time for this as it is a lot to do a complete replacement. But this is an awesome rudder package. ... show more

    • With the $
Color: Black Size: Long P"
It took several hours to install, but the instructions were easy to follow. I used the kayak on a trip to Voyageurs National Park immediately after. The rudder saved my skin when we were caught in an unexpected storm. I was able to keep my kayak upright and pointed into the waves despite the wind. I won’t go up there without a rudder again! ... show more

    • Look for better rudder lines
Color: Black Size: Long P"
Review Image by M. Kochte M. Kochte
I got this for my wife earlier this summer for her b'day. Due to one thing and another, didn't actually get it installed until late summer (so long past return date). This was a challenge, getting it installed. The instructions were....well, I've seen better. Seen worse, but see better. Got it installed. Things seemed to be working okay. So we took it out for a paddle one weekend. After being out on the water twice that weekend, we noticed something disconcerning: the rudder control lines (which are a stiff thin rope) were fraying. The sheath had totally shredded, and the core was laid bare and starting to tear. (see photo; you should not be seeing that white bit). And it wasn't just on one side. But BOTH lines were shreddng! Good god, what the hell? I paid $300 for this?? It's long past the grace period for Amazon to replace or anything, so I'm not even going to bother fighting with them about this. I AM going to look for better, more durable lines, though! The rudder was working great when we were in the water, but now she can't use it at all. Very disappointing. $300 freaking dollars for this... ... show more

    • Needs screw lengths on the screws
Color: Black Size: Long P"
Great kit works awesome, it's just not easy to install as the screws lengths aren't on the screws so you have to measure each screw. Not what I'd say is easy as I used the wrong screw 2 times due to not measuring from the right spot. Once installed it works like a dream.

    • Ok once installed
Color: Black Size: Long P"
Took me a while to install, lot’s of parts and awkward access to mount hardware. I also have an older model that has an aluminum blade, this one is plastic. The foot rail holes were 1/8” or so off from the foot brace holes that came with the kayak. After wrestling with them for 30 minutes I finally got the screws in at an angle, which is not ideal because the screw heads don’t sit flush with the hull. ... show more
