This kit is the ultimate in complete steering installations for the Native Watercraft range. We took our old trusted steering conversion that has been used and trusted by thousands of anglers around the world and improved it! The things we wanted to remove was having to drill into the original steering plate, the separate tension plate on the top, smooth finish over the top, added a hole for retractable rudders pull cords, and designed a unique T-Locking system for the rudder shafts to ensure there is zero play from the shaft to the rudder and removes the single reliance on the top screw to hold the rudder in place.

This kit comes with the following:

  • Handle drum with top and bottom routing to let the cord pass over itself
  • Spectra Cord with a core treated and polyester jacket for high strength and minimal strength spectra cord. 295kg/650lb breaking strength
  • Tension cover with twin cord locking inserts so you can lock the cord down and be sure it won’t pull out
  • Single Piece T-Lock Rudder Drum Housing
  • Anodized Aluminium T-Locking
  • Stainless Steel Fasteners
  • Pull through braid

What is the advantage of the T locks?

Challenge to install with a retractable rudder system. Do not like the Burley rudder. Sure, it turns, but takes 2 people to clear and retract in the weeds.

Steering upgrade

Learned about these upgrades on Youtube, so I decided to try them since I was not impressed with my Titan 13.5 & my wife’s Slayer Max 12.5 sloppy steering slack. Very glad I did, and would recommend if you want to enhance the whole kayaking/fishing experience, because it IS all about boat-positioning! Kudos to the Aussies!

Nice

The steering wheel angle has gotten a lot more comfortable

The only problem I have is the tracking I have to keep moving the handle to keep the kayak going straight.

If you are debating whether this upgrade is worth it, just stop debating and pull the trigger. This T-Lock steering upgrade, paired with the BP rudder, and BP steering handle is the best thing you can do for yourself, for your kayak, and for the free world. Shipment was fast, communication was excellent, and the product is first-class quality. Thank you, BP!

Easy to install!!!!

Was excited to purchase the newer model because I knew I wouldn’t have to drill or mess around with the older plate.
