Make sure the steering control (J) handle is in the upright vertical position. Move to the stern transom of the kayak. Attach a
cord lock (B9) through the bottom of each of the rudder (B) wings and re-secure at the top with a ¼ x 5/8" neoprene washer
(B10) and 5/8" split rings (B11).
Make sure the rudder (B) is in the down deployed and straight steer position. Use a 3/32" Allen wrench to start the 10-32 x
5/16" set screws (B12) in the threaded hole on each of the cord locks (B9). Pull the cords taught, making sure not to affect
the position of the steering control (J) handle, and thread cord into the corresponding cord locks (B9) of the rudder (B) wings.
Keep the cords taught and tighten the 10-32 x 5/16" set screw (B12) to capture the cords. Tie a double overhand knot at the
end of cord and tighten until ½" from cord lock (B9).
Test the steering control (J) assembly. Push the steering control (J) handle forward to control the rudder to the left and then
pull the handle to the rear to control the rudder to the right.
Once you are satisfied with the operation of your rudder (B), trim the excess cord leaving ½" of a tail from the knot.
Note: The steering control cover plate and associated screws were included with the purchase of the Helix PD kayak.
Note: A kit and instructions to reconfigure the steering control to the right side of your kayak is available at wildernesssystems.com
Tip: Online Video Instruction of this assembly and many other assemblies are available at WildernessSystems.com
