New Rudder
I got tired of my Tarpon 140 "weather cocking" on me. If I ran into any wind, current, or chop, I sometimes would have to make 20+ paddle strokes on the left side in a row to keep the yak going in a semi straight line. If I was paddeling in glass like conditions everything was fine. Enough is enough! I picked up a Feathercraft rudder kit from KFS. It was pretty easy to install. I did it over a couple of nights after work. The kit was pretty much complete, minus a couple of screws that I had to get from the local hardware store. I think it turned out pretty well. It is a quality rudder. I can't wait to try it out this Sunday at Tidelands.

Re: New Rudder
Congrats,
It should help with them drifts also later. When were in SD by the point, you'll see what the OK M2 does with a sidewind. Thankfully I'll be on the chute then or you would see me doing donuts with wind vs current. Perry :coffee |
