so i went out and bought all the gear kokatat expedition drysuit, whites mk2 undergarment, rei polypro heavy thermals, gloves, boots, you name it, unfortunately my kayak seems less prepared for the winter than I am. i have to store it outside and have run into some problems when winter kayaking how do i 1) wash the salt water off my kayak without it freezing 2) prevent the rudder and cables from freezing when im on the water and later when washing it off with fresh water last saturday on a freezing day i took my kayak off the rack to prepare for a day of kayaking, when i tested the rudder for mobility i noticed it was very stiff the cables resisted turning it side to side, i feared breaking the cables if i forced it so i reluctantly put the kayak back on the rack and regretfully missed a day of kayaking ( before you tell me to learn to kayak without a rudder i must say my boat handles horrible without the rudder probably because i do not weight enough to sink it down into the water, as my boat was designed for larger paddlers, i cannot happily use this boat without the rudder, im saving for a better boat that will handle without a rudder but until then this is what im stuck with) is there any type of lubricant i can use to prevent the rudder and cables from freezing ? can anyone answer my questions please id hate to have invested so much in winter equipment only to be unable to go kayaking dont know if it matters but my kayak is a boreal design inukshuk
