Here's the basic steering system: http://2010.archive.hobiecat.com/suppor ... Manual.pdf The 2011 Oasis should use the same system but with a couple of minor modifications. 1. Two "L" cranks in parallel rather than a single "T" crank. This accomplishes the same thing but with fewer space constraints, allowing a less constricted cockpit. 2. Continuous loop system using a cheek block rather than terminating at the crank. This takes the static tension off the forward crank, compensating for the increased friction of using two handles. Here are a few pics showing the details: Looking aft from the cheek block to the forward crank: Detail of the forward rudder crank: Close up of the crank showing both attachment points of the rudder line: Hope that does it for you until Hobie gets their manual updated. |
