Rudder Operation

Steering Operation and Adjustment

On the left side of the

kayak is a steering

handle which turns the

rudder left and right.

When in use, place

your hand on the disk

and rotate the tab left

and right to turn the

rudder.

Up/Down Rudder Control

Located just to the right of the seat are two T-handles which

control the up and down motion of the rudder. Pull on the red

handle to raise the rudder and the green handle to lower the

rudder. Once the rudder is in the desired position, run the

black line into the cleat to hold it in position.

The right steering

control line passes

up through the hole

here and is tight-

ened down with

the small screw

alongside it.

The left steer-

ing control

line is tied off

at the screw

here.
