Hey all,

Has anyone else had a problem where the rudder will not deploy down on your ProAngler 17T? The chord will go all the way but the rudder will not drop. I have to manually reach over and push it down. In the past I thought it was an issue of the side rails caving in a bit not allowing the pulley system inside to track properly. I have since attached a ratcheting bar to hold out the sides when it is being stored preventing the sides from bowing in. The rudder will still not go down on its own. Any ideas?

Grateful

BUZZ

Get under and have a look. Maybe the slot has distorted? Maybe the rudder is bowed?

Problem was solved with a little lube.
