UDDERS

Some Dagger touring kayaks have a rudder

fitted. Rudders are operated by the foot

brace pedals which slide forward and back,

controlling the angle of the rudder.

RUDDER INSTALLATION

The rudder assembly is stored in the rear hatch.

Remove the split-ring and plastic washer from

the pintle (rudder post). Insert the pintle into the

vertical hole of the gudgeon (moulded-in rudder

mount). Replace the washer and split-ring.

Attach the rudder cables. To do this, thread the

'D'-shackles through the holes on each side of

the rudder assembly and re-tighten the pins.

RUDDER OPERATION

Sit in the kayak and check the footbrace pedal

positions. The pedals should be adjusted to

fit the length of your legs and equal distances

from the seat. Once adjusted, any slack in the

rudder cables should be removed by tightening

at the footbrace.

Release the bungee loop securing the rudder

blade so that it is free to lift.

Pull one of the balls on the rudder line until the

rudder hangs vertically downwards. Test by pushing

on the footrests pedals with your feet.

To stow rudder, pull the second ball to reset the

rudder on the deck.

Always secure the

rudder blade with the

bungee loop when
