Possibly the kit is adequate in itself; however it is unfortunate that the kayak needs such a thing as a rudder kit, and more unfortunate that the kayak looks but is only partly rudder-ready. I still had to go out to find additional parts to make this work. This took a good part of a day to install. Still, if it weren't for the new rudder, the next trip down white-water rapids would have been leathal since I lost my paddle half way through. Difficult to rate this one.
