Couple questions.
My rudder cams aren't flipping up when I raise the rudders. Is it possible to adjust the tension of the spring underneath?

I would like to put new rudder cams on but the ones in it now are original and rivetted in. What size drill bit is best to remove the rivet?

There is a detailed FAQ on cams here: http://www.hobiecat.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=467

The drill can be between 3/16 and 1/4. Be carefull to drill JUST the head off the pin if uing the larger bit. Best to just thin it and then punch it through which will tear the remainingbhead off if thin enough.

Use the sister screw kit for the cams. It will be a big help when a rudder cam breaks
order a few spare cams just in case
