: Can you send us a picture of what you have got already? Include some
: measurements so we know what size materials you are working with. IF you
: can't send a picture, at least give us more details. A lot of kayak
: rudders mount to the rear deck. the rudder blade can be lifted completely
: out of the water and stored on the deck, or lowered and angled to give the
: desired rudder effect. If you are leaving yours attached permanently to
: the hull then you may have a much simpler setup.

I have no pictures, however if you go to the One Ocean Kayaks home page, lower on the page is kayak rudder plans and kits. Click on that and you will see the mounting method, just no dimensions. I have tried contacting them but have had no reply. I imagine I could get pretty close just looking at the photos, knowing the length of the through bolt and estimating from that. I would just rather start knowing exactly what I need.
