Post subject:  Left and Right Rudder Position Do Not Match

The handles for the rudder controls do not mirror each others positions. For example, when the left rudder (side w/ mirage control) is centered, the right rudder handle is kicked out about 1.5 inches past the h-rail. When I took the handle off, I see that the handle mold has 2 positions to seat into the pin. Neither are correct though. It's like the pin on the right handle needs to be rotated about 20% in, without changing the pin position of the left-side handle.

Is there a way to adjust the right handle mirror the position of the left handle. Adjusting the rudder cables in the rear of the boat don't seem to be the solution. Somehow their positions are tied to each other.

There is a crossover line connection the two. Maybe hung up on something inside the boat.

Yea that must have been it. I removed a lot of the foam blocks and freed up the line. Both sides match now and I have much better range on the rudder. Thank you.

Having some trouble figuring how to get the blocks back in their original position.
