Question - Rudder Line Kit - 16' Adventure

Hello - I recently replaced the rudder lines on my 16' Mirage adventure. I used the universal kit for the Mirage but the guide tubes are much shorter and the spectra line is making contact with the inside of the hull. Should I be concerned that will cause premature wear from rubbing over time?

Should I have gotten the kit for the AI/TI instead since this is a 16' boat? It looks like that kit has longer guide tubes.

Appreciate your insight.

Thanks,

Kevin

Yes.

Thanks Matt - I would say Hobie should add that exception for 16' boats to the description of the "HOBIE LINE KIT MIRAGE RUDDER UNIVERSAL" as I spent a hundred bucks on it and now I'll need to get the AI/TI kit which does not have any mention in the description that it works on certain older Mirage models.
