Smart Track Rudder Blade Housing- Original Long Pin

SmartTrack Long Pin Blade Housing. Installs on kayaks with an extension or a vertical hole all the way through the rear of the kayak. Secured underneath the hole using a split pin ring. This Rudder has a pin that is 9.2cm long and has 3 holes at the bottom to allow it to be secured at different heights depending on the hole depth. Thanks to an internal leverage-rod, it’s a snap to raise and lower your rudder blade with this tiller and rudder box assembly. It protects the blade in an upright position when you don’t want to use a rudder, and has adjustable spring tension that keeps the blade down in the water when you do. There are a fair number of different Smart Track Rudder Options- if you replacing a damaged version it is safest to use the same model. Model names should be written on the rudder housing (making it easy to figure out) but if that is worn or if you are not sure here is an explainer of the different options and models.
