What are my options for a starboard rudder control in the Hobie line of kayaks? I'm only seeing the PA12/14. This is for a person with limited use of their left hand.

Thanks for any input :)

I think it's a major undertaking to install a R/H rudder control on any other Hobie Kayaks or you are really adept in pulleys and spectra line mechanical relocations.

Unless you need a sleeker kayak and require a 600 pound capacity, the PA-12 is a good kayak to consider with "dual steering". It's stable and easy to pedal.

Thank you for the input! The PA12 is most likely what we will go with then. It's a great boat for sure.

A factory ordered option for starboard side steering would be great!
