Rudder
A rudder assembly is an option available to all Inuit models. Rudders
can either be factory installed or purchased as an aftermarket option
with Native Watercraft part number ARUD006.
Deploy and Retract your rudder blade
— Pull the rear barrel knot on
the rudder rope to deploy your rudder blade. The other knot will slide to
the rear position. Pull the other knot forward to retract the rudder blade.
Foot pedal rudder controls—
Adjust the straps on the foot pedal rudder controls and use the foot pedal controls to pivot your rudder blade to the de-
sired position.
Adjusting your Five Star seat and thigh braces:
Adjust the seat and for your comfort
.
For a more erect
position, tighten the side straps by pulling the free strap ends toward you.
For a more relaxed
position, sit up so that the side straps are supporting you, but not stretched
tight. Gently pull the rounded end of each strap buckle up and away from the strap. The strap will
lengthen and loosen until you’ve found your desired position.
The seat back of the five star seat can be raised and lowered for added comfort. Use the strap and
buckle on the backside of the seat to help hold the seat back in the raised position.
Adjust the thigh braces for your comfort
.
The thigh braces can be adjusted for an optimum fit by loosening the (2)thigh brace screws and
sliding the thigh brace to a comfortable location. Retighten after adjustments.
Adjust your Easy Foot footbrace
Unweight the pads.
Pull or push the adjustment bar until the footpad is in the desired position.
When you feel the foot pad click into place on the track, let go of the adjustment bar.
Transporting Your Inuit
To transport your kayak securely, we suggest that you install a rigid bar, sport rack system on the roof of your vehicle. Your boat will remain most
stable when loaded inside a cradle system designed to cradle the hull of the Inuit.
