Old Town Universal Rudder Kit

The Old Town Universal Rudder Kit is a durable steering upgrade designed to improve the tracking and control of your kayak in challenging water conditions. Built with a strong aluminum rudder blade, this system helps paddlers maintain a straight course when dealing with wind, current, or rough water.

A rudder is an essential accessory for kayak anglers and recreational paddlers who want better maneuverability and more efficient paddling performance. By allowing the kayak to track straighter, it reduces the need for constant paddle corrections and makes longer journeys on the water easier and more enjoyable.

The rudder blade is constructed from high-quality aluminum alloy, designed to withstand harsh marine environments. This material provides an ideal balance of strength and flexibility, allowing the rudder to bend under pressure without breaking. With proper care and maintenance, this aluminum rudder system is built to provide years of reliable use.

The kit also includes a rudder uphaul system, allowing you to easily raise and lower the rudder when launching, landing, or navigating shallow water.

Installing a rudder can significantly improve overall kayak handling, especially when fishing, touring, or paddling long distances. It helps keep the kayak moving straight and stable, allowing you to focus on your activity rather than constantly adjusting your direction.

The Old Town Universal Rudder Kit includes the rudder blade, rudder uphaul kit, and mounting hardware required for installation.

Rudder Pin Specification
This rudder is designed to use a 1/4″-20 x 5″ Phillips Head bolt as the rudder pin. The nominal bolt diameter is 1/4 inch (6.35 mm), meaning the rudder pivot hole is engineered to suit a 6.35 mm pin/bolt, allowing proper fit and smooth rudder movement.
