A customer emailed us to get rudder installation assistance for a kayak not originally built to accept one. Since pictures speak louder than words, we put Jon Stewart to work behind the camera. Here’s the skivvy.
Part I – Mounting the rudder ready end cap
Part II – Installing the cable tubing and sliding foot rails
Part III – Installing the cable and rudder
Part IV – Attaching the cable to the footrails and installing the deployment line
So that’s the story! If you have any questions, just ask for Jon.
Thanks for taking the time to make these videos! It’s kinda cool to see the inside of the factory too. Any chance you’ll make a “How it’s Made” video of the thermoforming process and the birth of a Hurricane Kayak?
