My rudder assembly is coming apart apparently due to my launch situation
The rudder is getting knocked around when I launch, which involves dragging the kayak over a lawn and marshy mud.
My dealer tells me to use wheels. That involves difficulty getting the wheels out while launching and in again on return.
Is there any other way to protect the rudder, some temporary or permanent guard? No problem w my 2018 Outback of course bc the rudder flips up.

OK just keep the rudder from stress from dragging on hard surfaces.
Are other new Outback owners having problems with their rudders being so exposed to possible damage?
