I have an older Edge 14.5 with a broken / bent rudder bracket. What can I do to fix this?

If the threads on the inside of the kayak are not stripped (then simply need to get you the two bolts and the bracket again)

If the threads are stripped then we would need to ask the factory what the fix solution is. 

Let us know if this helps or you need more assistance.
