| Post subject: | Rudder line tension for twist and stow rudder on Revo 13 |
I keep finding info and videos on rudder line tension adjustment for newer Outbacks and PA12/14s but can't find anything for the twist and stow on the older Outback and current Revos. Is there tension adjustment for this rudder? Or is it a direct tie? I've got 2" of slack I need to take up. And in terms of needed slack, how much should I have in the tiller to account for expansion? thanks! |

This Hobie link will show how to change the rudder lines and adjust the rudder for centering. https://media.hobie.com/digital_assets/ ... Uo8dIw.pdf Since the rudder lines will tighten up on a warm/hot day, it's best to adjust the line tension on a warm day. It won't leave 2" of slack on a cooler day. Maybe the previous owner replaced the rudder lines and never performed the final tension adjustment. Since the earlier Hobie Mirage kayaks did not have a "Boa" to adjust the rudder line tension as the hull expands and contracts, you need to live with the fact the rudder will have a small amount of slop. |

Thanks for the link to that, at least it gives a diagram. I think I'm going to figure out a way to incorporate some rudder line adjusters from other kayak manufacturers. |
