A complete rudder kit for classic model Old Town kayaks no longer in production (or older variations of current models.)
We buy parts direct from Old Town and include specific Old Town instructions for your kayak model so that we can offer you new rudder kits for current models or classic Old Town models discontinued years ago. A few really of the old models did not have specific instructions since at that time the instructions were generic. In that case we can include instructions for a similar Old Town model along with the generic type.
A rudder helps the boat track (go straight) even in difficult conditions, like wind and currents. A rudder can also help you turn, with foot pedal controls, without interrupting your forward paddle strokes and momentum. Rudders are very helpful on tandem kayaks. Standard setup for a tandem is rear person controls the rudder using the rear footbraces.
The Blade rudder system allows you to easily raise or lower the rudder while seated in the cockpit. Each kit comes with the rudder, mounting hardware, and detailed instructions for installation. Some current parts may look a little different than those in our pictures.
Available online for Loon 160t tandem, Loon 15 tandem, Castine, Nantucket, Cayuga (110, 130, 146 and 160) and Dirigo Tandem Plus.
Important; your classic model Old Town kayak needs to have an existing hole at the stern end which the rudder shaft may be mounted! Some Older models may not have this feature. Exception being the Dirigo Tandem Plus (or Dirigo XT Tandem Plus) for which we have two rudder kits... one is the classic style with a hole at the stern, and the other for later versions with four nuts molded into the stern (2013+) For tandem models the rudder is controlled by the person in the rear seat.
It is also very helpful for us to know which of type of footrest is in your kayak, so we can send you the most ideal parts with the new rudder kit. Let us know if your kayak already has Tracks installed for the Universal Footbraces, or you will need Universal Tracks sent with the rudder kit.
Order this Classic model Rudder kit if you need a rudder for an older Old Town kayak model shown here. We also sell a version for newer kayak models not listed here.
