- In this video, we fix my old rudder. After a couple of years' use, My Yukon rudder needed some routine maintenance and a general once over to be returned to top shape. I straighten out the blade, clean the components, re-line the pulleys and lubricate the components. Learn how to keep your kayak rudder in peak performance.

Thanks for this video. Lots of folks cover threading the foot pedals but few actually talk about and show how the uphaul and downhaul are threaded thru the rudder assembly. I was having some problems getting the rudder properly threaded on one of my kayaks and, even tho mine is slightly different, your video had enough detail that I was able to get it working properly. Thanks again.
Thanks Deborah! That is what it is all about!
Amazing video for fristed time .Replying your rudder lines and cleaning your rudder. Thank you for what you do best .Make my job easier and looking like a professional fixing my kayaka. 😎
Thanks John!
Thank you for your service! I’m replacing my rudder lines today.
Right on Bob! Hope the video helps!
Great video and glad the multi tool is getting some use!
Thanks Ryan! That little guy is awesome!
Easy as that. Nice instruction Pete.
Thanks TheElwood!
Great video as always!
I already changed the pedal lines to some stainless steel ones, as I was doing a tour in salty water.
Easy fix, - maybe an idea for another video...
What lines did you use? Looking at possibly doing this to mine
550 paracord
Great idea Adulf!
@@drumcycle007 I just bought 2,5mm stainless steel wire and some small stainless steel cable clamps. Figured out, I could have gone smaller in diameter.
Vid is a bit long but at least it shows how to replace the cord. Thx!
Which part(s) should I have left out?
@@RiverKingsKayak A lot talking off the topic, between relevant parts that are good. For instance, the first minute can be condensed in 5-10 seconds. Missing in the title: to mention the Prijon rudder, which has its own design. I went through a LOT of YTpages finding all kinds rudders, but, you're the only one I found doing the lining on Prijon . And Prison being German s quite big here in Europe.
he he! If you want short videos, then this may not be your channel. Im definitely not known for short videos. LOL. Part of the intent of this video was to serve as a comprehensive rudder repair / maintenance resource covering a range of topics to include re-lining the rudder. In doing so, there are a lot of other little things that I cover. Perhaps all the other little parts that you found off topic or irrelevant could be just the little nuggets that someone else might be looking for? In any case, Im stoked that this was the only video on TH-cam that covered the topic for you. Mission success. As you may imagine, it is impossible to make videos to everyone's personal taste or needs - especially when covering a broad ranging topic like rudder repair and maintenance. Thanks for the feedback! I think I will add Prijon to the title.
I don't see any comments..... I support paddling of all disciplines. For the algorithm!!!!
Thanks Trin!
