Rudder Swivel Kit

This kit is a replacement set of connections between the rudder cord (used to steer the rudder) and the actual rudder. Easily detachable from the rudder (if rudder is removed for transport etc.) they provide an easily adjustable secure fitting.

Made up of a left and right side. Each side is made up of a  black cylinder with a through tunnel which the rudder cord is threaded through. A perpendicular threaded hole and a grub screw secure the cord at the desired length. The grub screw requires an allen key (not supplied but available separately. This allen head (and the screws) is the same as used on some kayak SUP fins (as used by FCS etc. and available from us)

To use the black section goes through the rudder bracket first and then the rubber washer is placed on the spindle followed by the split ring.

To obtain the straightest cord line you may wish to mount under or over the rudder bracket.

Please note that this kit is a replacement kit and is not considered compatible with older style rudders that use other methods to connect the rudder cord or or wire cables.
