Setting up Your Steering
Kayaks feature many different cable routing systems,while some more
basic models have no cable routing. To add cable routing to your
particular boat, contact the boat manufacturer for recommendations.
Kayak cable routing can generally be broken down into two
categories:cables routed above the deck of the kayak, and cables
routed below the deck of the kayak.
Cables routed above deck will usually demand the steering triangle be
mounted at the top of the shaft. Cables routed below deck will usually
be routed through the back of the boat, which requires you to mount
the steering triangle below the motor supporting drum.
This mount is designed to work with either high or low routing setups
on kayaks equipped with integrated cable routing.
For kayaks with cable routing requiring you to use the high position,
see section
Setup with Control Cords at the Top
on page 19.
For kayaks with cable routing requiring you to use the low position,
see section
Setup with Control Cords at the Bottom
on page 21.
In some cases, further tweaks may be required to refine the operation.
