OK - I checked the lines from the rear hatch - very hard to see/feel what is going on, but I found one line fouled between the port rodholder and the foam on the hull. I released that and it MAY have improved the situation. I haven't been able to see/feel the bungie tension, but it does feel and sound like I am fighting something to get the downline fully seated.
How would you ever be able to repair or replace these lines? I think the hulls were molded with these in place. I sure would like to be able to make a repair in the field so to speak.
Thank you
You can remove the bungy altogether or just reposition it on the rudder line.
To reposition it remove the line from the hull.
I did this by undoing it at the T Handle but there is probably an easier way as it is a bit awkward to replace it.
Remove the clip that's holding the bungy to the rudder line.
Then tie a knot in the black section further up the line.
Attach the bungy to this with the clip.
(I just used a cable tie)
Then reassemble and no longer will you need to pull
Hard on the rudder line anymore.
