Bullnose Rudder clamp on boat rudder fits a 1.125" transom trolling motor shaft. Commonly used for, inflatable Pontoon, Pelican Bass Raider 10E, fishing Kayak, Canoe, Jon boat, etc. USA Manufactured
  • PERFECT SOLUTION - Trolling motors are known for lack of steering especially when the wind picks up, the water is choppy or you want to track in a straight line. Simply add a Bullnose Rudder which is designed to give you better control of your watercraft in most windy conditions, help hold a true course at most trolling speeds, and prevent the boat from spinning as much when the motor is off. Patent no. D712,341S
  • FIT - The Bullnose Rudder is a boat rudder that fits 1 1/8" (1.125") transom mount trolling motors. Please note, it will NOT work on a self deploy bow mount trolling motor. It measures 10.5" high x 4.75" wide and fits a 1 1/8" shaft diameter. It's most commonly used for "but not limited to" minn kota trolling motor, motorguide trolling motors, newport vessel trolling motor, etc. Common tiny boats used are, inflatable pontoon, Pelican Bass Raider 10E, fishing kayak, canoes, jon boats, and more.
  • ESSENTIAL - In most cases it helps hold a true course at both a slow and high trolling speeds. Customers have also said, “it prevents the boat from spinning as much when the motor is off”. Most tiny boats will benefit from having some kind of a rudder set up in the back vs not having a rudder at all. Only takes a few minutes to install and you are ready to go.
  • QUALITY - Manufactured in the USA with high quality parts & material to help ensure you have a stress-free fishing experience. It is manufactured from impact plastic for durability and comes with stainless steel screws.

  • BOW MOUNT - Fits the Minn Kota, EDGE, MAXXUM, and FORTREX. The bow mount motor must be a hand cable pull, NOT self deploy. Self deploy will not work because the system requires the shaft to slide up and down right where the rudder needs to be attached. However, a hand cable pull will allow you to carefully bring the motor up out of the water on the motor mount. Your bow mount setup needs to have 1' of shaft sticking out from the end of the platform allowing enough space to attach the rudder.

    Hey there! I'm Sandra, a full-blown product junkie with a serious obsession for digging up the best new gadgets, gear and goods to make your life easier and more fun.

    For over a decade now, I've been putting thousands of products through their paces with rigorous real-world testing and analysis. It's tough love, but my goal is to cut through the marketing spin and give you the totally honest scoop - whether it's worth buying or just a bunch of hype.

    What you'll get from my reviews is a nerdy deep dive into all the important details and specs. But I'll always break it down in a conversational, easy-to-understand way. No boring tech blabber here!

    I have a serious case of product FOMO, but I'm an equal opportunity reviewer who gets just as pumped checking out something simple yet innovative as I do drooling over the latest tech marvel. If it's legitimately awesome and useful, you can count on me to sniff it out.

    When I'm not deconstructing products or scrutinizing performance data, I'm usually diving into one of my random hobbies and obsessions - like reading crazy patents (seriously), dreaming up coding projects, or perfecting a new recipe in the kitchen. What can I say, I'm a passionate nerd!
