Some kayak models have steering cables that come out at the stern, or otherwise don’t have any cables at all. Thru Hull Steer Guides gives you the option to relocate you cable so its easier to hook up to a motor setup, or add a steer cable setup to a hull that doesn’t have the option for steer cables. They allow you to route or relocate steering cables (for pedals, rudders, or motor setups) through the hull of the boat. This makes it much easier to connect and hook up steering systems, especially useful for moving cables from the stern to a more convenient position, adding steer cable functionality to boats that don’t have them or improving pedal-to-rudder or pedal-to-motor steering on fishing kayaks.
