Rudder Mount for Pelican Argo 100X Kayak

thingiverse

Rudder mount solution designed specifically for Pelican Argo 100x Kayak, but also compatible with many other Pelican sit-in kayaks. To install: simply remove the rear carry handle and then insert a 1/4-20 bolt paired with a large diameter washer (1.5" OD) into the kayak's existing mounting hole. Secure in place using another washer and a nylok nut, making sure to utilize stainless steel hardware to prevent rust formation. The rudder showcased in the image can be sourced from Amazon under the product name Walmeck Canoe Kayak Boat Tail Kayak Rudder Direction Foot Control Steering System Tool Kit. This 3D printed mount was created using three shells and a 30% infill setting, ensuring a sturdy and durable design. For those who wish to preserve a mounting location for the carry handle, consider attaching an eye-bolt directly to the kayak.
