The new T-Lock Steering is the newest version of our most trusted steering upgrades for Native Watercraft kayaks with a new single piece, zero play rear drum design.
The ultimate T-Lock steering upgrade for Native Watercraft kayaks - zero play, smoother operation and rock-solid rudder response
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.
When installed this upgrade eliminates steering slop/play and delivers much smoother and more responsive steering.
Kit includes:
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
