SmartTrack Recreational Toe Pilot Foot Control

Easy-to-adjust and affordable rudder pedals made of plastic. Available in two variants: "Standard" and "With Barrel Lock Adjuster."

SmartTrack Recreational Rudder Pedals feature a fixed footrest combined with toe control. SmartTrack is one of the most popular kayak pedals on the market, largely due to its ease of adjusting the leg length to the pedals. It can be smoothly adjusted by both the paddler sitting in the kayak and an instructor standing beside them.

SmartTrack's rudder pedals provide excellent rudder response compared to pedals from other manufacturers and are compatible with both cable and line steering systems. The design of the pedals allows for self-adjusting rudder lines.

SmartTrack Recreational Rudder Pedals have fine-tuning screws on the front edge of the rail (closest to the bow). With the fine-tuning screws, you can adjust the rudder to ensure it is straight by turning one side or the other. If you tighten both screws, the toe pedals will move closer to the paddler, allowing the paddler to customize the pedal position according to their preferences.

The two variants

• "Standard" is as described above.
• The "With Barrel Lock Adjuster" variant is the same as the standard but also includes a approximately 50cm long cable ending with a fine-tuning screw. From the fine-tuning screw, you can link further with line or cable back to your rudder. The advantage of this solution is that you get a more accessible fine-tuning option in the cockpit. Additionally, you receive a durable cable at the pedals to avoid wear issues.

Installation

There are two ways to install pedal rails in kayaks:

1. If the kayak has permanently laminated mounting screws with corresponding nuts, you can use these. If you are building a kayak and need to laminate your own mounts, we recommend a mounting bolt from Kajaksport (item number KS501117,1).
2. If there are no permanently laminated mounting bolts in the kayak, you can use through screws through the hull. Install with 4 through screws (item number ST44-528), 4 nuts (item number ST44-531), and 4 seals (item number ST43-802).

If you want to position the pedal rail closer to the center, spacer blocks (item number ST20-438) can be used during installation.
