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

The Complete Rudder System V2.0 for FPRK365V2 Pedal Inflatable Kayaks comprises a wider rudder, mounting bracket, rudder lever, and cables. This system is designed to facilitate the use of a rudder for Saturn inflatable pedal kayaks such as the FPK365V2. It might work for other kayak types and models with DIY modifications.

The rudder is integrated into an aluminum mounting bracket, engineered to slide into a gear track system utilized for removable fins in inflatable Stand-Up Paddle (SUP) boards and kayaks. Installation involves a straightforward sliding and locking mechanism. Please note that kayak must have removable fin track pre installed, in order to work. 

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. Removable fin track pad need to be installed as DIY project.

For non-FPK365V2 kayaks, attention should be paid to the length of cables, which may require extension for longer kayak models, as well as ability to install removable fin track pad.

Customers receive a complimentary storage dry bag as a FREE gift with their purchase.
