Stiff rudder in new Outback

Hi all, Just got back from 1st trip in new Outback....Loved it!! The only thing I am curious about is if there is any adjustment for the tension of the rudder steering. It's quite stiff and maybe it will loosen over tie, but kind of difficult for now. The dealer is 90 minutes away so if there is anything simple I would attempt it. Thanks for any hep!!

Hello all....Is there a friction, or tension adjustment on the newer outbacks? The entire rudder system works great except it's rather stiff even up out of the water on the trailer. Thanks for any help.

Yes, you can loosen the rudder lines at the rudder itself.
