Turn your Native watercraft into a a new kayak with the this steering upgrade. This conversion can be done in 30 minutes and removes the steering stops and allows the rudder to really bite into the water.
We have designed a new drum and rear disc for a new steering cord to run. This cord is now a high speed spectra with an average breaking strength of 290kg (639.341 lb) and is connected by a looped crimp and tied at the rear.
The new rear disc gives you the ability to tension the rudder to take the last piece of play from the handle and give you a truly direct steering feel.
The increased angle of the rudder also allows you to turn on a dime and the added bonus of aiding in loading and unloading by being able to move it to one side.
This fits the following kayaks..
We are just checking the Manta 12 and Mariner Kayaks also!

Wanting to find an alternative to the stock wire cables and their issues in saltwater. I came across the Berleypro upgrade. Went from needing to lean hard to do a 180 with a 20' radius to no lean and a 5' or less radius( current and wind varied)! The rudder swing now is almost 90 degrees and zero play in the steering. The boys down under did a fantastic job in designing this upgrade!
