The sliding foot brace system allows you to steer with your feet. Mounted on the stern rear of your kayak, this rudder is designed to work with Perception Kayak models featuring a molded rudder post hole on stern. Includes detailed instructions and all parts needed for installation. Not compatible with Perception models featuring threaded stern inserts for attaching a rudder mounting block these models will require the Perception short-pin kit. Review: Needs screw lengths on the screws - 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. Review: Nice complete package for replacement - 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. ## Features - Increase the maneuverability and tracking ability of your solo "rudder ready" kayak - Mounts to kayak stern - Compatible with Perception solo kayaks featuring a molded rudder post hole on Stern - Utilizes spectra cord rudder control cables - All necessary parts, hardware and instructions included - Sport type: Kayaking ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07JFZ4TTS | | Best Sellers Rank | #811,677 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #784 in Kayak Hardware | | Brand Name | Perception | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (36) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729282111081 | | Included Components | Rudder Kit | | Item Type Name | kayak rudder kit | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Confluence Accessories | | Material Type | mixed materials | | Seating Capacity | 1 | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 729282111081 | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Perception - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 1 Pounds - **Material:** mixed materials - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![Perception Rudder Kit - Solo Kayak - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Udy25cj-L.jpg) ![Perception Rudder Kit - Solo Kayak - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aS0ej0xrL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit on a Perception Conduit 13ft?** A: Yes, this rudder is compatible with the Conduit 13.0. **Q: Will these fit perception joyride10?** A: No. The Joyride is technically not designed to accept a rudder system so we do not offer a rudder kit that will work for that model. **Q: Will this kit work with the Perception Cove 14.5?** A: No. You will need the Perception Rudder Kit with Long-Pin (part# 8080048). If you would like the ability to quickly convert from tandem over to solo paddling, you will also need to purchase the Tandem Supplemental Rudder Kit (part# 8023053). **Q: will this work on a perception acadia 12.5 or 13'?** A: No. The Short-Pin rudder kit requires threaded inserts on the stern for mounting a rudder block. Definitely confirm before purchasing but the Acadia should already have a rudder post hole molded on the stern which will require the Long-Pin version (part# 8080048). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needs screw lengths on the screws *by A***R on June 20, 2021* 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.
