Solid DIY fix! After 5 years and all that friction I’m not surprised that cable is going especially for how much you fish. I’ve been doing a few mods to my kayak here lately and it’s definitely fun.
Thanks dude! Yeah man dry rot and fraying from the friction is bound to happen. Will make sure to put paraffin or grease on the new one to make it last longer.
Thanks for the video Phil!!. Just yanked the "up rope" off my 2018 Outback! :( Just like you, started searching for answers and Your Video was the only one out there! Hopefully, my replacement will be similar to yours. 👍🙂
I have an 09 Pro Angler and the sleeve the string goes through is missing and mine is cutting into the plastic. I thought maybe if I put a pulley in front of it that would help. I bought a pulley before looking inside the hull... The exact same pulley I bought is hanging in the line inside the kayak. At 1:20 you showed exactly where my pulley fell off the string that holds it I was going to screw mine into the side. I gave you a thumbs up and subscribed. All I do lately is kayak repairs on my channel, Thanks!!
Thanks for that. I have a PA manufactured in 2011 with a lot of use in fresh and salt water. Surprisingly to me the steering and rudder deploy cables are originals and still seem ok. I'm going on a backcountry trip soon and I fully expect something to give. I'm bringing some dynema cord and a few tools that should get me out of a jam.
You are welcome, Steve! I slowly add things to keep for road trips. Cord is one and recently I adopted keeping a Gator Patch on hand. I had a leak in one of the worst possible spots right where the Lowrance ready indent was welded together. It sealed that bad boy right up! I was shocked it worked so well and easy. I made a short video on that as well. Thank you for the support!
The cable is just 1/8 inch paracord so I bought it on Amazon. Looks like Harbor Freight has it for $2.99 for 50 ft. www.harborfreight.com/18-in-x-50-ft-paracord-56740.html
My AI island has no cables for up down on side to side. I would buy but trying to find seems very difficult. Getting access to run it to handles which are broken is nearly impossible. Is there a external rudder system?
Hoping you can see this comment. I just got a used 2020 hobie PA12 and i noticed in the front hatch there are two pulleys. one is connected to the transducer and the other has nothing running through it. Based on you video it looks like the pulley that’s not attached to anything may be the rudder. Any advice?
I am sure you could. I thought of something similar, but you only have one shot to get it right. I was going on a week long trip and wanted something that was a guarantee. Please make a video and share if you give it a try. There was no information out there on how to fix and that's why I made this one.
When the day comes for my Compass, I'll definitely give making a video a try. Thanks for making this one so could get an idea of how the lines are laid out inside the kayak

@@fishinwithphillip Yeah I was just wondering if some wax that you put on a bow string would help maybe limit some of that friction?
I think it will for sure. Same concept

Awesome! Happy it helped! Thank you for the support and subscribing!

Thanks. This is helpful. I think the swivel is smart.
You are welcome. I am glad it helped!
Thanks for that Phillip just what I needed.
Awesome, Tony! Glad to hear this video helped. Thank you for the comment.
Great Mckievering!
Thank you! It has held up great through a lot more use!
Where do you purchase the rudder hold down cable/rope for a Hobie Mirage kayak? Thanks

Sorry to hear that. I wish I could help but I am not familiar with the AI Island.
Genius
This goes in the category, "A country boy will survive." HAHA! Thank you for the compliment.

The second pulley is for your up/down rudder cable from what you are describing. I hope this helps.
@@fishinwithphillip thank you! your video helps a lot too!
Unreal thanks for sharing. I have same colour PA14 2018/19 same issue.
Thank you for the comment. I am happy this helped, Jim!
@@fishinwithphillip I’ll be trying it this weekend!
Awesome! It took me maybe 12 minutes total taking my time and videoing. Found the cord on Amazon. Good luck and let me know if I can help at all.
Awesome. Thanks dude.
No problem dude!
What size is the swivel
It was either a 1/0 or 2/0... Either would be more than sufficient as there will never be much load on it.
You could probably run an entire new line in from the tube at the rudder with some mechanics wire which would eliminate the blind not you've gotta tie
