I know this is a older video but I was on the fence about if I wanted to upgrade my new to me slayer so I decided I would try it a couple of times to see. I was sea trout fishing in the marsh lands and man the current and wing was strong and there was a few time I cussed at the rudder it was like it wasn’t doing anything lol. I will be replacing it ASAP. My only thing I worry it I like to back onto the edge of the jetty banks and worry I might bend it.
Nice review. I resisted the urge to not do it, but finally did. Definitely an improvement, but while drifting, with the slightest of breezes, the yak still won't track to my satisfaction. I just cope with it. Blue Loctite on the screw.
Great video, you've convinced me. Boondox on my slayer propel coming soon,
Awesome man it is a awesome kayak and the upgrade is seriously worth the money.
Ive had a slayer propel since last summer and been pleased with it but the rudder needs major help. I have a video of it on my channel. Check it out.

It is very strong.
Nice review I will be getting one soon. I also really like The Boondocks landing gear.Like you said money well spent saves a lot of time. NFN
Landing gear will be a staple purchase for all of my future yaks!
does it fit on titan 10.5?
Do you have trouble pulling off the boonedox rudder? I noticed mines will be stuck and I have to force it off even with the screw off.
Ditto on this upgrade! great product. I have backed it into rocks and drug it over rocks and it stands up to a beating!
Can anyone comment which is better, this or the berleypro rudder?
Do you need to update your steering if you upgrade this rudder?
Heard the berly was better....but will cost u. No need to upgrade cables until they break

Any videos of the rudder in action on the water?
Sorry man.....I don't have any. There is one out there that someone did that shows the tighter turning radius.
Did u ever do a video review with rudder on the yak in the water?
I did not...but it out performed the stock rudder hands down...the berly pro rudder is rumored to be even better
