: Looking for information on how to build my own kayak rudder with foot
: controls. CLC does not have plans in this area. They only sell complete
: units. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I designed my own pedal system and modified a rudder system by a local paddler. Auto-adjust rudder lines, one handed pedal position setting, non-sliding pedals (hinged) and with a slide up rather than rotate rudder blade retraction.

If I don't get too many requests I can e-mail a drawing of the pedals.
