I think they slide onto the standard-type plastic track, but the foot pedal is fixed. The rudder pedal portion is spring-loaded and extends above the foot pedal. Your foot is fixed in place, but you press on the higher rudder pedal by flexing the ball of your foot/toes forward to push the pedal. >I am considering using my rudder as a "skeg-attached to the stern..." Most rudders seem pretty hard to fine-tune between UP and DOWN. It would be nice if there was an easy way to "feather" the amount of rudder in the water so you could use it exactly like a skeg.
