The N Rudder swaps in for the stock rudder on Native and Brooklyn Kayak Company propel kayaks. Its 15.5 x 5 inch aluminum blade is built to turn faster and track straighter, and it weighs 1.5 pounds. A stainless steel mounting bolt is included, but note that it does not fit the Native Slayer Max.

- Raise the rudder before landing or entering shallow water to protect the blade and mount.
KayakDIY take: A bigger, stiffer rudder is one of the simpler upgrades for a pedal boat that wanders. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
