I just bought my first hobie cat and I am unable to lock the rudders. I watched a video that showed Hobie 16 has cams that flip. Is it the same with Hobie Waves? Is my issue that the cam needs to be flipped? (BTW, I’ve read basically every post I could find on here including Mrmillers. Still can’t figure out what is wrong)

That is the locked position. You must release it.

Good FAQ info here: https://www.hobie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=467

If the cam is really stuck down, the only tool needed is a small blade screwdriver. You work the blade between the cam and plunger to force the plunger down and release the cam. Don't bother with the big screw under the spring they often are fused in place and the spring does not need to be adjusted but a few times in the life of the boat.
