Worked perfect for my 2000 Eddyline Whisperlight tandem. Holes lined up and lowered the peddles to the deired location. Just as advertized.

This will not work with Wilderness Systems kayaks. Do not buy this on-line unless you have seen it in the store or you will likely be unhappy.

This will work with sit-on-top kayaks, but you will have to use the standard foot rail that comes with the kayak as a spacer.

I purchased these to install a Smartrack Rudder System on my Perception Triumph 13 kayak. I was not sure if they were required on my boat but I purchased them anyways, just in case I needed them. For the Smartrack installation on my Perception Triumph 13, I did not require these. In my boat, I could reach into the hull and access the mounting holes for the new Smartrack rails. The factory footrests on my kayak bolt on from the outside and have a lock-nut on the inside the hull on one bolt and a blind hole for the other bolt. The Smartrack rudder system can ONLY be bolted from the hull side towards the cockpit. You do not have access to any Smartrack mounting bolts from the cockpit of the kayak. If you can access your hull in the area where the Smartrack rails mount, you can drill your new mounting holes in any position you like and screw the mounting bolts for the Smartrack rails from the inside the hull. You do loose the easy adjustability of the pre-drilled holes in the vertical adjustment kit, but I was sure of my new mounting location and I remain happy with the location after several uses. As an FYI, I mounted my Smartrack rails 1.5 inches lower than the factory foot rests. On my kayack, this is about as low as you can mount the Smartrack rails before the curvature of the cockpit walls causes the foot pegs to be at funny angles.

I did not think that I would need the kit, but didnot want to wait if I was wrong. So I got it . Glad I did. used the lowest setting. Worked great.

Great idea. Worked well in my WS Tsunami, making foot positioning more comfortable. Installation, however, was quite challenging, and included throwing a few tools across my garage (optional).

Works as advertised. Was a bit hard to get to the forward hardware as my Current Design boat is quite long. It took a bit of ingenuity but was able to get it installed. This is a must for the smart track rudder system and lets you lower the pedal assemblies with out putting new holes in you boat.

If your going to invest in a Smarttrack rudder this would be a wise investment. The little extra $$ is well worth it. It makes the installation easier and adjustment for different size paddlers a snap. The pedal system attaches to the mounting plate and that gets attached to the kayak. It would be perfect also if your existing pedal mounting holes didn't line up exactly. You could drill the mounting plate and not your kayak! This wasn't necessary in my case as the holes lined up.

Worked the way it was intended made more room for my feet, and kept my toes out of that awkward cramped position.
