How to fit this Handle Upgrade

This Handle upgrade can be fitted with the standard Native Watercraft Steering Pulley. However, the demonstration below shows the handle in conjunction with BerleyPros Titan Steering Conversion which provides a range of benefits, such as tighter turning circles and more responsive steering.

1. Remove the rudder to loosen the steering cords at the rear.

2.Remove the original handle assembly so you are left with only the pulley and cords sitting in the cavity.

3.Install the pulley on the base of the new aluminum shaft using the m6 x 12 cap screw and a 4mm Allen key. Make sure the handle is orientated the same way as the one that comes off so your steering is straight.

4.Make sure the cords are pulled tight on the pulley and install the new handle with the 4 screws as shown. Reinstall the rudder and tension the cords at the rear of the kayak and then test to make sure you still have a full range of motion on the rudder.

5. You can change how tight or loose the steering handle is by adjusting the preload from the 4mm Allen key in the top of the handle.

Your brand new Handle Upgrade is now in place. This replacement should take around 20 minutes.
