: Hello Everyone,

: I got the new Seal-Line rudder installed, and it works really well on my 19'
: kayak. I was able to finally focus on paddling without all those
: corrective strokes. I wanted to give a review for those that were
: considering it.

Hi Malcolm,
I'm just curious as to what kind of tracking problems you were having? I'm almost done with my guillemot. When I took it out every third stroke or so I needed a corrective stroke. After adding a 1 inch skeg I'm still not happy with it. I can count the amount of time that I've been in a kayak on one hand. So maybe I just don't know what to expect. Do you have any pics?

Thanks

Mark
