Review: This rudder kit was the worst money I have ever spent Very bad install instructions and absolutely no customer support. would not recomend this to my worst enemy

Review: Awesome, installed on my Dagger Cayman, with some minor fabrication, and it works flawlessly. This is potentially a difficult install for some people, especially on certain makes/models of boats like mine, but well worth the effort.

Review: My Hurricane Expedition was rudder-ready which made the installation pretty seamless, however the attachment bracket included with the rudder kit had holes that were spaced way too far apart for my rig. I had to drill a hole in the hard stainless to make it fit. Ive had the rudder on for about a dozen trips on rivers now and am amazed by how well it has held up to sever conditions for a rudder, branches, brambles, logs etc. I am also very pleased with the design and function. It enables me to keep on track in a strong river current while snacking, drinking or viewing through binocs. It also allows me to concentrate on stroking when going upstream as I can course correct with the rudder rather than having to compensate with the paddle.

Review: The kit is excellent, although the rear mount plate holes did not match up on my Hurricane Expedition; no problem drilled a new one in between the plates existing holes. I was not sure if a rudder would improve the issues I was having or not. I was hoping it would: A Help control direction when paddling upstream in a river. B Minimize/prevent directional drift when taking a break from paddling C Allow me to train the vidcam on a subject without the need for constant paddling corrections. The rudder has been fantastic for A & B so far. I have not had a chance to vid yet, but I think it will help with that also. One unforeseen benefit has been that the rudder increases my paddling efficiency because I dont have to dig like crazy to correct directional drift. Extremely fast shipping, thanks.
