Im sailing a Hobie 16 out of Dana Point, Ca, and have a few questions. --At high speeds, I have to pull the tiller extremely hard towards me to keep the boat going straight. Is this normal? --Also at high speeds, the rudders hum occasionally. how can I fix this. =Thanks for reading, Robert |

FAQ Section has this info - sounds like you don't have the rudder locked into the down position to me - or they are raked back too far - need to tuck the rudders under the transom further. Here are some links for you to read: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=467 viewtopic.php?f=18&t=12859 Also the owner's manual might help explaining how to rig and sail the boat - big thing is getting the rig right and the rudders locked down (make sure your cams are functioning corectly) link: http://www.hobiecat.com/support/products/hobie-16/ |

You're right the rudders aren't locked into place. Both of the cams are jammed into place. Hopefully replacing them will do the job. Thanks for the feedback. -robert |
