Down / Up rudder doesnt work ( really stiff) AI 2017

Hi Guys
Once i pull the T Handle to put down the rudder of my AI, the rudder doesn go down.
The cables in the rudder are really stiff/ tense tough.
I saw some posts in the forum but i didn t get which is the cable that manage the "down"
phase: is it that one close to the right/ left rudder cables, or is it that one in the other side?
What should i try to do?
Open to your suggestions on that, thanks a lot , i appreciate it

There are steering lines and one up and one down line. It is possible that the up control line is tangled inside the boat which would shorten it and make the system too tight to lower.

There are several manuals that review line systems, but the best thing is to get a camera inside the hull and look around for fouled lines.
