I am an absolute fan of the Smart Track rudder system, formerly made by Seal Line and now by a separate company calle "Smart Track LLC" which bought the original and it seems to have not changed. First of all, it's very easy to install with all the lines easily routed and the pedal system incorporates the holders for the lines. Secondly it has a brace pedal with a toe rudder. This is a real luxury especially on long trips or when rolling. You can brace against the foot pedals without them sliding back and forth moving the rudder. There is a toe pedal much like the brake pedal on some aircraft. You toe steer while bracing against the adjustable fixed brace.
Also the rudder is very clean and hydrodynamic. Not a lot of drag, but plenty of rudder to turn my 19' Atlantic. By the way, this is the rudder that was on the kayak that was stolen (borrowed and never returned- same thing) and had to be completely redone. The rudder, however had no rust on the cables or hardware and every stock piece went right back on, including the screws, and has worked flawlessly.
