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.

Review: With the $ - It took several hours to install, but the instructions were easy to follow. I used the kayak on a trip to Voyageurs National Park immediately after. The rudder saved my skin when we were caught in an unexpected storm. I was able to keep my kayak upright and pointed into the waves despite the wind. I won’t go up there without a rudder again! 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 | #867,700 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #861 in Kayak Hardware | | Brand | Perception | | Brand Name | Perception | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 37 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00729282111081 | | Included Components | Rudder Kit | | Item Type Name | kayak rudder kit | | Item Weight | 1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Confluence Accessories | | Manufacturer Part Number | 8080048 | | Material | mixed materials | | Material Type | mixed materials | | Model Name | Perception | | Model Number | 8080048 | | Seating Capacity | 1 | | Style | Classic | | 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 Kayaks Rudder Kit - Solo Kayaks, Long Pin, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Udy25cj-L.jpg) ![Perception Kayaks Rudder Kit - Solo Kayaks, Long Pin, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61aS0ej0xrL.jpg) ## 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ With the $ *by L***S on July 23, 2023* It took several hours to install, but the instructions were easy to follow.
