DESIGN INSTRUCTIONS
Placing the KS-Skeg control
unit 4
It is important to pay attention
to find optimal place for the skeg
control unit when designing the
kayak. z
Skeg control unit should be placed
close to the paddler to have easy
access on it at all times. It should
not stick in the way when doing
normal paddling rotation. Most often
the optimal location is little bit
forward from hip, next to the cockpit
rim. If it’s too far in the front the
paddler can accidentally hurt his
hand in it while paddling or it can
disturb normal thigh support. If the
unit is too much in side and close to
the seam it will become the outmost
part of the kayak in sideways. It is
 risky location when storing and
transporting the kayak.

KS CONTROL UNIT 4  ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTIONS, PREMADE DECK RECESS
INSTALLING THE SKEG CONTROL UNIT 4
A. Installing the skeg
control 4. box and KS-tube
connector for premade deck
recess
When kayak has  premade deck
recess for skeg control unit. The
assembly is started from mounting
the KS-tube connector. KS-tube
connector requires ø11 mm hole
in the aft end of the control unit
recess. Push tube connector female
part all the way in to the end and
make sure the O-ring is left outside
of the hull to ensure proper sealing
for the inlet. Push the PA-tube
inside in the male part, It will go in
around 27 mm and seal itself against
the male part. Push female part
around the male part. Screw male
and female parts firmly together to
secure and seal the complete inlet.
Skeg control box has 3 mounting
screw holes. In premade deck recess
one or two screws will be enough
for secure installation. Ready-made
nut inserts are the quickest way to
connect it. Place the skeg control
box inside in the recess and secure
from the bottom with screws that
are included.

KS CONTROL UNIT 4 ASSEMBLING INSTRUCTIONS, OPEN RECESS OR RETROFIT
B. Installing the skeg control
4 box and connector tube in
the open surface recess or
retrofit without any recess
by using the KS-adapter box
for skeg control 4.
If having  surface recess in the
deck without integrated closed box
(composite kayaks) skeg control box
can be installed by using optional
KS-adapter box for skeg control
4. Adapter box has rubber sealing
to ensure the connection. Screw
connection allows firm tightening
and enables later dismantle. Adapter
box also has  place for tube
connector to make the connection
water tight. Please check tube
connector installation from above in
section 1.
Skeg control 4 box fits in to the
recess from outside of the kayak.
Adapter box and sealing connects
the control box from inside of the
kayak. These two components
are fixed together with 2 screws,
O-rings, washers and nuts that are
included. Tighten the screws firmly
to make the connection water tight.
When skeg control box is connected
to the deck it is most easy to
string the skeg rope inside in the
tube already in this stage before
continuing assembly.
