16' Cedar Strip Kayak

Thanks Jason.....The foot controlls...I attached a bungee to keep tension on the rudder in the down position, just unhook it when in the up position....

Used some PVC with 9/16 ID and some 1/2'' aluminum to slide in the inside.

The wood J hooks hold fishing rods and they rests up under the PVC tube...

Neat rigging!

After 3 1/2 hrs of fishing yesterday I realy put to the test....A weight added to the rudder might be a good idea...the bungee tends to add tension to the line when turning....

The rudder works fine without the bungee when using it for a controlled drift while fishing...with just a slight breeze now and then the rudder works like a dream for this application.. just paddle a stroke from either side when stopped and keep on casting because the rudder will take over in the direction of the drift..it is assume..

The adjustible center console works great with the foot pegs..their is 6 1/2'' between the side of the console and the rudder controlls..plenty of room to have the feet on one or the other....
