Wilderness Systems Short Pin Rudder Assembly

Wilderness Systems Short Pin rudder assembly

This Rudder Assembly can be used as a replacement part for many all Wilderness Systems kayaks outfitted with the plastic or metal rudder bracket. It may also be adapted to fit other brands of kayak. Note: the plastic and metal rudder brackets are sold separately and will fit to basically any kayak with the 2 threaded inserts on the back of the kayak.

This item is composed of a metal rudder blade housing with multiple slots for attaching the steering cables. Some modification may be required to fit various cable types.  The rudder blade itself is a high quality material blend of plastic and Carbon composite materials. The rudder blade also has a foil shaped for greater efficiency and less drag in the water than standard flat blades.

This is also a bayonet style rudder pin and may not be compatible with other bayonet style rudder assemblies, such as the Smart Track Bayonet Pin and other kayaks.

The pin is 1 and 15/16 inches long, 3/8 inch diameter.
