Good to know

  • Check that your Sportsman model already has a rudder system, since this is a replacement blade for those kayaks.
  • Rinse it after salt water and check the mounting hardware now and then.

KayakDIY take: On a pedal boat, the rudder does most of the steering, so a stiffer blade is a sensible upgrade. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
