Hello Matt,
Sorry about resurrecting a solved topic, but could you let me know if there is a document showing the layout of the rudder lines and instructions on adjustment?
I took my new Tandem Island out on her maiden voyage this past Saturday, and had some pretty immediate issues with difficult steering to one side (rudder verified to be completely locked in down position), and then the screws securing the rudder lines loosened allowing the line to slip...which eventually let to my twisting the rudder handle off and losing the riser in the lake (luckily the actual handle was saved with the screw).
After much fiddling, I have it steering mostly alright, but it still seems quite stiff for that style of rudder, so want to verify everything below deck is proper. I'll probably re-string the entire system to be safe.
Thanks for any help you can provide to this old salt but new Hobie owner!
