Title: Nothing better than a Fedex Box of new toys at the front door
Post by: Buzzcut1 on July 24, 2014, 09:38:14 PM

Rudder system for my Tarpon 120 from Austin Kayak.  Too bad I have to head out of town for work, can't even install it until next week or get it wet until my next day off work...Aug 16th.

of course it seemed only fair after getting this for my wife...her first Yak

Rudder install was easy except that the right side rudder cable housing inside the hull had a kink that would not let the cable through. Softened it up with the wife hair drier and the cable passed right on though and out the exit hole.
