This steering knob takes less effort to turn, which is easier on your fingers over a long day. A screw-down locking mechanism holds the rudder in place so you can track straight, drift or hold a turn hands-free. It fits Old Town Sportsman PDL kayaks plus legacy Topwater PDL and Predator PDL models.
