Just hearing a few whispers about a new rudder fitted to PA's.
Anyone heard or seen one ?
Are they going to be available for retrofit I wonder ?
Would be nice if steering was improved
Cheers,
Rod

Nothing yet available from Hobie Cat, but we are working on a larger rudder. Would be available as an upgrade... not a retrofit I think. Not expensive. I would hope for Spring 2014 availability. |

Testing? Of course! No part number yet available to order it though. From what I hear... it extends aft and is wider, so loading / lifting using the skids could cause issues. |

is it like a twist and stow or replacement for the existing rudder .......... will you be able to mount an Evolve to it ? ........... Hopefully? |

It's simply a bit larger blade. Not a rudder system, so not a Twist and Stow or anything related to eVolve mounting capability. |

Figured this would be the only solution but see it not working that well for me when loading/unloading. Guess I would need to start using the Trax 2 cart that I bought and never use. So easy to just drag it up to the trailer for loading. I don't worry about the bottom getting scratched because it is going to get banged anyway. Like my dad always told me when I left the house with the family car..... keep the shiny side up

Since I was raised in KS and worked on ranches during high school, gotta say that would also work for me |
