Genuine Folbot Rudder Kit Center-Post Style: Aleut, Kodiak, Greenland Ii Kayak

From my collection of Folbot gear, here's a genuine Folbot center-post Big-D rudder kit, listed for use with the Greenland II, Kodiak, Yukon and Aleut models. I'm somewhat of a fair-weather paddler, so I've never used a rudder with any of my Folbots, despite owning all of the above models except for a Yukon. This kit is 100% complete. The photos show what looks to be a couple of hypalon patch strips wrapped around the blunt end of the post; I've since removed that wrapping. The build quality of the stainless pivot and control rod is absolutely superb.

Everything in the photo is included:Big D-shaped rudder (they went to a slender blade later)Raise-rudder cordLeft and right control cords with clipsStainless-steel control pins, clips, and bearing washersCenter postCenter post holderFoot control barBow-tie cushion block to cradle the retracted rudder above the decking You can see this kit on the Wayback Machine's snapshot of Folbot... and hopefully on the Folbot's reborn sight someday in the near future. (Not based on any information other than my own optimism; I certainly expect they'll resume business again...)https://web.archive.org/web/phone713/http://www.folbot.com:80/mm5/merchant.mvc?
