If you would like the ability to quickly convert from tandem over to solo paddling, you will also need to purchase the Tandem Supplemental Rudder Kit (part# 8023053). **Q: will this work on a perception acadia 12.5 or 13'?** A: No. The Short-Pin rudder kit requires threaded inserts on the stern for mounting a rudder block. Definitely confirm before purchasing but the Acadia should already have a rudder post hole molded on the stern which will require the Long-Pin version (part# 8080048). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Needs screw lengths on the screws *by A***R on June 20, 2021* Great kit works awesome, it's just not easy to install as the screws lengths aren't on the screws so you have to measure each screw. Not what I'd say is easy as I used the wrong screw 2 times due to not measuring from the right spot. Once installed it works like a dream. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice complete package for replacement *by D***S on August 29, 2023* Have an old chinook. Broke the pivot. This replaced all the lines foot controls hardware. The rudder is a plastic material. Foot rails are aluminum. Fasteners are stainless. It comes with turtle bungees to handle the rudder up and down lines awesome improvement from old. Instructions are extensive and cover multiple installations. Things to consider. My advice is to use whatever original equipment on your kayak if you do not have to replace. As example I wanted to change the foot pegs but the screws were frozen and I drilled them out the heat from friction melted plastic hull and I had to use a stainless fender washer to reattach the new foot pegs and rails. So be mindful of anything you really do not have to replace. Also plan time for this as it is a lot to do a complete replacement. But this is an awesome rudder package. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Look for better rudder lines *by M***E on October 1, 2021* I got this for my wife earlier this summer for her b'day. Due to one thing and another, didn't actually get it installed until late summer (so long past return date). This was a challenge, getting it installed. The instructions were....well, I've seen better. Seen worse, but see better. Got it installed. Things seemed to be working okay. So we took it out for a paddle one weekend.After being out on the water twice that weekend, we noticed something disconcerning: the rudder control lines (which are a stiff thin rope) were fraying. The sheath had totally shredded, and the core was laid bare and starting to tear. (see photo; you should not be seeing that white bit). And it wasn't just on one side. But BOTH lines were shreddng! Good god, what the hell? I paid $300 for this??It's long past the grace period for Amazon to replace or anything, so I'm not even going to bother fighting with them about this. I AM going to look for better, more durable lines, though! The rudder was working great when we were in the water, but now she can't use it at all. Very disappointing. $300 freaking dollars for this... ## Frequently Bought Together - Perception Rudder Kit - Solo Kayak - Perception Truefit Spray Skirt | Kayak Spray Skirt For Sit Inside Kayaks | Size P7 thru P12 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/110984422-perception-rudder-kit-solo-kayak](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/110984422-perception-rudder-kit-solo-kayak) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
