SmartTrack Rear Mount Blade Housing. Installs on kayaks with a vertical, flat section on the stern of the kayak using the bracket that comes with the housing.
Typical examples are Epic, Necky and Northwest kayaks. Thanks to an internal leverage-rod, it's a snap to raise and lower your rudder blade with this tiller and rudder box assembly. It protects the blade in an upright position when you don't want to use a rudder, and has adjustable spring tension that keeps the blade down in the water when you do. All parts are machined for precision fit and coated with Teflon® to prevent corrosion.

Easy single-cord retraction
Precision machined and Teflon coated for smooth, precise performance
Lower pivot point allows use of smaller blade
Adjustable blade tension
Supplied with mounting plate, blade lift control line kit and wedgie attachment kit.
