This kit connects your footbraces to a stern-mounted motor. Without one there is nothing for it to steer. For foot steering without a stern motor, the 120 PRO Rudder Kit is the right part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre steering cables included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The kit has the rails, crimps, heat shrink, bungee and hardware, but not the cables. Cable length depends on the motor, so you source that to match your setup. The Rudder Kit does include cables, which is where the confusion usually starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat is in the box?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAluminum footbrace rails, copper crimps, heat shrink tubing, bungee, mounting hardware and installation instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eRudder Kit or Footbrace Steering Kit, which do I need?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes down to where your motor is. Bow-mount motor, get the Rudder Kit at $199.99, which adds an actual rudder and includes cables. Stern-mount motor, get this kit at $54.99, which steers the motor itself. Some anglers run a bow motor and a rudder, which is the setup Old Town recommends for the most control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"cfo-faq\"\u003e\u003csummary\u003eCan I install it myself?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
