Classic Necky Rudder Assembly, Tandem Blade (USED)

The Classic Necky Rudder Assembly (Salvage Part) for Tandem Kayak is best used as a replacement part for two-man Necky kayaks circa 2000 to 2004.

This is a 2nd generation USED Necky Rudder in good condition, quite serviceable, but will show some signs of age. The housing is plastic construction, with a metal blade.

A rudder rope is NOT included (see below). The stainless steel pivot pin is included, enclosed inside the ruddy body, as well as the mounting bracket. This rudder is a Rear Mount Rudder Assembly, to be mounted on your original rear mount bracket (metal with two screws). The bracket is included, BUT save your extra bracket as a spare part, pass it on to other kayakers, or mail to TopKayaker for re-use. RMRDR

About 15 feet of 3/16 Rudder Rope will be needed (longer for solo kayaks) as well as 3 feet of 3/16 inch Bungee Cord to go with this rudder, for the rudder lifting rope and tension line.

See the Ocean Kayak Rudder Video Part 2 gain some insight into how this may be strung, but do understand that the Rudder Rope will take a Different path through the rudder head. This video applies to late model Ocean Kayak, Old Town and Necky kayaks circa 2005 to date.
