STEERING (2-/4-X)
Our pairs and straight fours are equipped with steering controlled by rotating the right foot of
the steering shoe assembly. Hudson boats come ready to be steered by the stroke or the bow.
Additional seat options can easily be accommodated upon request.
Each athlete will have a preference as to how the steering gets setup. The steering can easily
be adjusted by loosening the 7/16" bolt on the back side, and moving the cables in the desired
direction.
If you have a convertible boat (both sweep and sculling riggers), you have the option of
removing the rudder and cables when you rig the boat for sculling if you so choose.
With each boat the steering mechanism should consist of:
A rudder
•
A Tiller Bar
•
Two cables
•
Four sleeves (the tubing the cables slide through) of varying length
•
Eight Cable Termination Block (white nylon blocks) two of which are on the steering
•
foot assembly
A steering foot assembly
•
The photo below shows the steering set up for stroke seat. In this configuration four of the
eight Cable Termination Blocks are used.

Questions and answers
At duxbury bay maritime school, we have an old hudson training quad. the stroke rigger has a removable plate. Does this go on the top or bottom of the assembly? The plate seems to have to be manipulated to fit properly onto the shell. Is one starboard and one one port?
