It holds straighter courses under windy conditions, and reduces drifting off course.

Its designed to give you better control of your watercraft in most windy conditions, help hold a true course at most trolling speeds, and prevent the boat from spinning as much when the motor is off.Perfect for small watercrafts, such as kayaks, pontoons, jon boats, canoes, etc. Minn Kota and Newport Vessels trolling motors are popularly used with the Bullnose Rudder, and are among many compatible brands.

Patent no. US D712,341S

INSTALL

Only takes a few minutes to install and you are ready to go. If the shaft is slimmer than 1 1/8″ (1.125″) no worries, there is double sided mounting tape provided in the packaging to shim a thin shaft.

PERFORMANCE

It was designed to fit a transom trolling motor. It has a unique shape to accommodate your prop. If there is not enough clearance between the shaft and the prop, simply flip it upside down. It will perform just the same while allowing the prop to spin freely without any interference.

BENEFIT

Trolling motors are known for a lack of steering especially when the wind picks up, the water is choppy or you want to track in a straight line. Most tiny boats will benefit from having some kind of rudder set up in the back vs not having a rudder at all. Common boats used are, inflatable pontoon, Pelican Bass Raider 10E, fishing kayak, canoes, jon boats, and more.

BOW MOUNT

Fits the Minn Kota, EDGE, MAXXUM, and FORTREX. The bow mount motor must be a hand cable pull, NOT self deploy. Self deploy will not work because the system requires the shaft to slide up and down where the rudder needs to be attached. However, a hand cable pull will allow you to carefully bring the motor up out of the water on the motor mount.

Your bow mount setup needs to have 1′ of shaft sticking out from the end of the platform allowing enough space to attach the rudder.
