- Rudder sets & Foot rests
Some important things to consider when ordering your
kayak.....
Rudder sets
- pedals, control cables and rudder blade - are not included
as standard with any of the kayak models. For most flat water
paddling
with gentle turns, rudder sets are usually not neccessary.
There
are two sizes of rudder blades - Standard and Comfort,
and two types of rudder pedal assemblies - Clamp and
Rail.
Rudder sets - Standard & Comfort
Rudder sets includes a free swinging rudder blade with a sturdy mounted control
head, rudder pin, rudder pedals, rudder control cables, and a pick-up line for
lifting and lowering the rudder blade whilst seated. For all models except the
Smartline Alu 490.
Rudder blades - Standard & Comfort
Standard rudder blades is suitable for flat water, while the longer and narrower
Comfort
blades
is suitable for sailing and off-shore paddling.
The Comfort rudder blade goes 8 cm deeper into the water than the
standard blade
- particularly useful in high waves. Both types of rudder blades can be raised
out of the water via a rudder lifting cable.
Rudder pedal attachment system - Clamp & Rail
There are two types of rudder pedal assemblies - the part that attaches rudder
pedals to
the floor keelboard - Clamp and Rail. The guide rail is the standard fitting
- fitted
to the kayak's keelboard
regardless
even
if
you
do not
order
a
rudder
set. On the Aerius II 545 and 585 kayaks with 3-4 seats, the rudder pedal floor
attachment is set for the front paddler.
