: My wife loves her 2004 13 ft. Necky Manitou but would like to have
: a rudder. We are in our 60's and a rudder would help her since
: she now only paddles lakes. Any guideance with actual retrofits
: on this kayak would be appreciated.

: Thanks in advance,
: Bill

Take a look at the Old Town rudder for the Cuyuga. Old Town and Necky are sister companies.

Those kayaks respond nicely to edging so she may want to make the final decision after a quick lesson on edging and turning.

Best,
