I'm experiencing rudder line issues with my 2015 TI, and with the lack of a good rigging diagram, I'm having trouble figuring out the problem. Specifically, the "Up" line. When I pull either the front or rear seat Up T-handle, the slack is taken up, but then, nothing. The rudder will not raise no matter how hard I pull. I can make the rudder go up by moving it with my hand. The "Down" line works fine. I took this picture from inside the rear seat hatch. It looks like there's a line coming off the Down block that may have broken (???), but I can't figure out where it may have been attached. Any ideas? Thanks!

This is the line diagram for the Mirage Tandem Island.

Good morning, I have a problem with the rudder line, when raising it not so much, but it is very difficult to lower it, on some occasion in the water it has not even been able to lower itself, how could I tighten that line? Do you have any line diagram of the Hobie Outback? All the best

Yes it is possible to shorten the line, but I don't think this is the cause of the issue. Remove the cap from the T-handle and trim it to the dimple on the inside of the hull (below the track - image below).

I would first check the spring in the rudder housing. The rudder on a 2021 Outback will naturally lower itself unless the line is pulled up and cleated. The spring kicks the rudder back down. See if the spring is broken or installed backwards. Also, check the tightness of the screw. If the screw is too tight it will limit its mobility.

I don't have a line diagram for the 2019+ outback up/down line but I do have instructions on how to install a new line (pictures included). Please email [email protected] for the instructions.
