Aftermarket Rudder

Hi Jerry,

Yakima makes great footpedals, but I have never heard of an entire
rudder system from them. Typically you see the Yakima footpedals with
a Feathercraft or similar rudder.

The Feathercraft is an easy retrofit, especially if your boat already
has the holes. Seda makes a retrofit for their boats, which is
actually a near universal kit. <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.sedakayak.com" target="_blank">www.sedakayak.com</a>

The SmartTrack system by Cascade Designs is also a retrofit which can
be adapted to almost any kayak. Their best feature is the toepilot
foot pedals which pivot instead of sliding back and forth, allowing
for solid footbraces and rudder control.

I'm sure there are many other systems avaliable, those are just the
two I personally deal with on a regular basis.

A couple of slots over from the one I store my kayak at is one where they
have a Yakima rudder installed, so they do exist. I've never met the person
though so I can't say what they think about it.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
