In-Hull Foot control Torqeedo and Rudder Steering on a Jackson YuPIK

Submitted by Michael Fiorenza

I made a quick video of installing foot control steering for my Torqeedo Ultralight motors on my 2022 Jackson YuPIK. The steering is in-hull tubing and stainless wire allowing me to use the motor to get where I am going, and keep the deck and gunnels free of cables and wires. This was a custom solution for a boat that has no in hull access, and the cleanest in hull install I could engineer. I hope it helps you out if you are looking for a way to install foot control steering on your Jackson Kayak YuPIK. Stay tuned, I am working through modifying the Innovative Sportsman Rudder for the Torqeedo mount as well that I will have posted shortly.
