| Review: | Rudder works well and for me is an essential accessory to the Tarpon 140 I purchased it with. Two problems: I am 6,2", and the foot pedals extended to their maximum reach is still a bit cramped. There is still a slight amount of room on the slide to extend further, but I will have to figure out how to extend the cable. Secondly, the mounting bracket is a little weak. With moderate use it now has considerable slop where it attaches to the hull. The stern itself is slightly convex at the mounting point, the rudder mount is flat at the attachment point, and whatever fasteners are used do not hold the bracket securely to the hull. I am very careful not to back into anything, and always remove the rudder itself while loading or unloading from the cartop, or whenever I have to carry the boat. I will be able to remedy this by fabricating and installing a sturdier mount, but it will involve cutting an access hole at the stern to allow for the use of stouter mounting bolts. | ||||

| Review: | A must on the Ride 135. Without the rudder steering is difficult; with the rudder I can turn on a dime. Give it a 4 stars (1 less than 5) since Harmony charges way too much for these things. | ||||

| Review: | This rudder kit works great. Got it with my Tarpon package. The rudder can be retracted easily with the side cords while still in the seat, and it attaches soundly to the kayak, even when the kayak is on the roof of my truck on the highway. | ||||
