| - | - **Bungee w/ Hook** - hooked to one side of the rear rudder mount steering arm. Paddlers who equip themselves to use one of these bungee techniques often just leave their rudder arm cover off for quicker access when a cable breaks. Make sure that the hook you attach to your bungee can easily be hooked to your rudder arm on either side. To deploy bungee - typically paddler will have to get in water or have a fellow paddler attach the hook to the rudder mount steering arm. Using a hook that has been tested beforehand for ease of use will speed your recovery of steering, just as not using a cover over the rudder mount also accelerates deployment of this fix. Every thing you do to speed/ease this process will be that much more important in difficult conditions | + | - **Bungee w/ Hook** - hooked to one side of the rear rudder mount steering arm.
