Hi Daan ,

You know there is another solution, a stern mounted skeg, gets rid of all the pivoting and rudder pedals and lines etc.
Looks like a stern mounted rudder, except it just pivots into and out of the water, doesn't turn, more simple with far less parts to break when you might need it most.

(yes, I'm not a fan of rudders in kayaks)
