Wilderness Systems RUDDER KIT Supplemental Manual

RUDDER KIT - SUPPLEMENTAL
This kit contains the components and instructions needed to convert the Rudder Kit - Solo to multi-position, tandem (stern
seat) or solo (center seat) use in Pamlico tandems.
To complete rudder installation on a boat without rudder you will also need Rudder Kit - Solo #8070026.
This module will provide the parts needed to be able to move rudder foot pedal controls from stern seat position to center
seat and will interface with the rudder system installed via kit #8070026.
CAUTION: Considerable effort has been given to these instructions to provide for a successful installation of your new rudder
but the process does require permanent alteration of your kayak. Please read all instructions prior to beginning the process.
Be safe, measure twice before proceeding with any step requiring drilling or cutting of your hull. Use caution when tightening
screws in inserts molded in hull as they cannot be replaced. If you are uncomfortable with any part of this process, we suggest
you contact your local dealer for support and advice. It is possible they will undertake this installation for you at a moderate
cost. All directions included in these instructions reference starboard (right), port (left), forward, aft, behind, etc., are
given as if you are standing behind your kayak looking forward.
Call our Customer Service line: 800.445.3763 (and follow prompts for consumer assistance) should additional
assistance be required.
