These can be replaced or a larger screw added. These can get damaged by pulling on both steering calipers hard at the same time. There is also a thumb screw on top of the rudder drum that is intended to hold the rudder straight when using the board as a SUP. This screw can cause drag and make steering hard if tensioned. I'd advise removing the thumb screw.
Contact your dealer and file a warranty claim for our warranty and tech crew to review and advise.
