Necky Kayaks brand rudder kit is best used for sit-in kayaks made in 2013 to date. Can be used for Necky Tandem kayaks (or use an Old Town or Necky tandem kit with a larger blade). The aluminum alloy used in the Necky rudder assembly can take lots of abuse, bending, and re-bending before it breaks. With care this aluminum rudder should last a lifetime. When deployed you use the foot pedals to guide the kayak, turning the blade right or the left. A rudder is mostly used for keeping your boat on straight on track, especially when the weather conditions change. It can help make your open water conditions safer and more enjoyable. Detailed instructions for installation are included.
