My old Sport takes on water through the rudder line holes if I put a bunch of fish in the cooler. Is anyone familiar with a way to convert the rudder to a twist and stow, or a fix for water coming in the holes (besides losing weight)? Thanks! |

Small rubber grommets? |

If you cut little blocks out of closed cell foam, I use the foam meant for concrete expansion joints as it has small cells rather than pool noodles. Cut a slit in it and slip it over the cable exit point, trimmed for neatness, and silicone/goop in place. Works wonders at keeping water out. If it eventually falls off (mine have lasted ages) just replace with another one. |

yep solved that annoying issue of that half a pint of water that always seems to end up in there on a choppy day in the low profile adventure/revo 16 hulls. Should work well on any model |
