The BerleyPro Raised Aluminum Steering Handle is the best upgrade for improved grip and steering control for Hobie Compass and Outback 2019+ model kayaks. The aluminum handle is larger, stronger, and operates smoother once installed. Also provides better tracking by allowing you to tension the handle, and makes it easier to turn. Highly recommended for use with our Brudder rudder upgrade.
Enhanced Steering Control, Ergonomics and Durability for your Hobie Compass or Outback
The BerleyPro Raised Aluminum Steering Handle features an extended and raised section that makes it easier to use with larger
rudders or in the current. You can also tension it down to help keep your kayak tracking straight so you can spend more time with your hand off the handle. It is made from an acetal base and aluminum CNC machined top. An m6 thread in the front allows you to attach a steering knob to the end if you wish.
The BerleyPro Raised Aluminum Steering Handle provides a much more comfortable and ergonomic grip, better leverage for steering (especially with larger rudders or in current/wind), improved tracking when tensioned, and allows you to keep your hand off the handle more often while maintaining straight-line travel.
CNC-machined aluminum top with a tough acetal base and stainless steel fasteners for maximum strength and corrosion resistance in saltwater.
The kit includes the raised aluminum handle, hardware, and all required fittings. Easily installed in around 15–20 minutes using basic tools (mainly a Phillips screwdriver). It’s a direct replacement for the stock handle. Watch our installation guide video
