The Yakima rudder kit this kit is base on was designed as a complete rudder set up for Perception kayaks that were purchased without a rudder. It was also an upgrade for Perception kayaks sold with a metal rudder, as the plastic rudder would not c orrode in sea water. The kit is from about 2009. The plastic rudder from the original kit has been swapped out for the metal Perception rudder. The pedals from the original kit have also been swapped for the Perception kayak pedals. What remains? The mix of part for sale here,
is the equivalent of what came stock on a Perception Kayak from the (00's - 10's). The parts in this kit should be all that is needed to fit Carolina, Shadow, Calypso, Eclipse and others from that era with a working rudder. Important: The Attaching shaft on the rudder is ~.25 in thick and ~3.27 in. to the drilled hole. It will fit a hole on the kayak with the same dimensions.
