Hi All,

This is my second hobie, the first one I bought second hand, the one I have now is the new 2015 oasis. On the new oasis the rudder is almost too free, so that if you take your hand of the tiller it moves back to where it wants to go or just moves all over the place. On the old one I had if I put it to turn me marginally to the left it would stay there until I moved it. Any suggestions or fixes I can make to fix this ?

Cheers AD

Tension the steering lines a bit. At the rudder... left and right side control lines.

ad905....as Matt said, add some tension or take some slack out of the left and right rudder control lines back on the rudder assembly......your owners manual should show this and so will this link viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12573
