Rudder Cable 500 ft. Spool

A 500 foot spool of 1/16 in. diameter stainless steel cable. This Sea-Lect, aka Sea Dog product is best for outfitters and instructional fleets. While this type of cable is common on most makes and models of kayak it does not have an eye on the end. If you need an eyelet on the end please see the generic rudder cables kit. (Eyelets are not available separately and can not be put on with hand tools.) (Sea-Lect part number K748025)

Tools needed: Rudder Cable Crimper Cutter Tool, or... Heavy-duty wire cutters and a large size Vice Grips will do just fine.

Use cable swages (sold in four packs or hundred packs) to secure this cable to your rudder system.  See the Thimble and Shackle Set to use thimbles and shackles on the stern end connection to the rudder wings or possibly the foot controls.

See also Stainless Steel Thimbles and Rudder Shackles that may be found on many surf ski kayaks.
