[QUOTE="richg99, post: 256151, member: 4376"] this what you had in mind?????? I modified my original "kick-up skeg" for my "Toy Yak" this morning. The "rudder' is a Wal-mart kitchen cutting board. I have a piece of aluminum coming to replace the 3/4 inch plywood. The steering mechanism is a couple of pulleys..with lines.. and "line-stoppers" positioned next to me in the yak's seat. Works pretty well for tracking a shoreline. Obviously, the "rudder" can be made to any size one wants. One could set it up so that it was foot controlled. For my use, it was easy enough to use the lines and stoppers. Hope this helps. regards, Rich [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2yGYUX6TKQ0/T4eSwDxSclI/AAAAAAAABbA/HpeAIyTyNK0/s800/DSC03858+resized.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
