Hello,
I bought a used 2007 Hobie after making sure to inspect thoroughly for drivewell cracks, broken internal supports ect and in the clear on that end. I upgraded the drive from V1 to GT and really that wasnt too bad. I figured changing out the rudder lines and adjusting those would be the easy part. Boy, was I wrong. I must have spent 5 hours messing with the things trying to get it to open and come down correctly. Backed the bolt out, made sure lines were on the drum, ect ect. and did not bother to look inside the hull because I could feel bungee tension the entire time I was adjusting the lines. I took some photos and the inside up/down assembly and to me that doesnt look anything like the diagrams I found on the support page and also where the rudder is bolted in doesnt look quite right to me either but I have no frame of reference for that specific part. I've seen some photos and youtube videos with the plastic pin piece but wasnt sure with mine being a little older, may have been a completely different set up.

Please let me know how this looks - and how to possibly fix it
