Honestly it is pretty tricky and so much a hastle that most companies do not sell kits. I have seen people "hack" the kayak and rig one on but if you are not technical, be careful. You can check with Necky and see what they can do. Another option is find a local paddle shop and see if they can put one on. Ideally the thing to do is pay the extra and get one with it already installed as it is a pain and sometimes will cost more to install it later. That is not including the pain of possible poking holes in your perfectly good rudder-less boat.
