Wilderness SystemsRudder Kit

I am glad I spent the extra money on this kit. There are some generic systems available that could be adapted, but this was a straightforward add on.It went on a 2023 Tarpon 140. Everything fit and works as it is supposed to. All the hardware was included and the directions were complete. It's made a huge difference in how this kayak handles in wind.

Does what's expected. A lot of work putting in but worth it. Shoukd be a bit cheaper

The instructions have all the detail needed. I installed it in about 2 hours in a Tsunami 145..

This is a good kit for adding a rudder. But it will not fit on a Pungo 140!! Even called Wilderness Systems. You have to have a flat, vertical surface to mound it.After some internet searching I found someone who had made a bracket to adapt it to the Pungo line. Stainless bracket in picture does not come with kit.

Nylon line included could NOT be fed thru the guide tubing. This proved to be a major issue. Spent hours attempting to feed this line into the tubing. I had to go to west marine to purchase stainless steel control lines. With the stainless it to me less that 60 seconds to feed the line thru the tubing. Shame on wilderness for cheaping out.
