Setting up rudder on a Seak Mako 3.9

Recommended Posts

Just bought a Seak Ma. ko 3.9 need to set the rudder up. I have two Australis Sea Kayaks and the rudders were set up on a different system. Is there any info on YouTube on how to do this, I have just started into this type of fishing, I have an 18 ft half cabin boat. I will be using the kayak for The Entrance, Carcoar Dam, Wallis Lake and Oberon Dam as it will be better than shoreline fishing. Thanks Norm

THanks 

what area were you having trouble with? also its worth looking at getting a motor for the seak, its cumbersome to paddle but insanely stable. i use mine for fresh water and bream fishing and crabbing, hence ive got a motor. 

never found the rudder all that effective, the motor is alright, 24 was reasonable but i found 54 was pretty good, though the weight adds up really quickly. also the rudder leaks, not the worst but just keep that in mind.

I spent 7 yrs with 1 Commando paddling 2 man klepper canoes load with gear so quite use to hard paddling. Not interesed in a motor I also  have 2 sea kayaks.

The wife and I worked out how the foot pedals work.

Thanks for the reply.
