Rudder Line Adjustment for Hobie Kayaks

- A how to on adjusting your rudder. If your rudder lines are too tight the handle will be hard to move and cause fatigue over time in your hand. Too loose and you'll have slop or play in the system. Adjust too far to one side and you will not be able to turn as sharp to the other side. This video shows three of our popular kayak models and showcases how each system work, things to look for and how to make adjustments.
How about a video on how to replace the rudder lines on the twist and stow type rudders? They are older and probably more of them are breaking than these newer type rudders.
Hobie always finding a way to over complicate things. Guess I’ll have to keep looking for replacement line videos. 😅
Thank you for the awesome video😁
Is there a video for the Revolution twist and stow rudder adjustment?
Thank you for the video, actually helped me fix my rudder. Nothing like the security of a $2500.00 kayak being controlled by couple strings...Please use some wrapped marine wire next or something, anything but string,,, maybe its a braid, still.
Yup. For as much money as i spent im so frustrated. Threee times now and I can’t steer at all. Have replaced parts and wasted hours at the launch getting attacked by mosquitos. Trying to do whatever I can to be able to get on the water. Still can’t. My experience has been so shit with hobie.
I'd like more detail on the tensioning knob. How is it backed off?
Hey Hobie! We have questions. I have not seen a single answer from you, when in fact you asked for more Questions. What gives? We bought your product, with no dealer nearby we, as Hobie Owners need this to solve problems we are having. So , now what?
Do a rudder tension control knob (boa) replacement video... After 5 years mine fell apart and I have no control over tension now
Problem with my rudder is with the handles straight my rudder is turned at 45 degrees. I have to take both handles as far left as they go in order for the kayak to track straight in the water. To make that adjustment do I need to remove the middle screw on the half wheel in the back?
ACK closed. I can't tighten the line myself. Can turn one direction :(
- after replacing the rudder bracket mount - it snapped. It will not steer. I was trying to tighten the black line where you pull your the rudder… but for some reason my steering handles are not steering at all. I want doing circles in the river. Since buying this pro angler 12 2016 it has been an issue every time I take it out. Going on three different times taking it out. First time I got out after 2 mins. Second time i paddled with my arms because the steering does not work. So i address a broken part and it’s still not working. For this much money- why does it have so many issues?
Can you steer a stern mount trolling motor by attaching lines there?
i have a pa 14 2015. it always feel like its not turning in the right direction. what can i do to fix that. ie i turn to the right and it goes straight but off to the left.
My Revolution does that also. The line needs tightening, so it turns to the right.
Can u put your hand through this hole to put on a backingplate for anchor trolley?
Even if u leave the lines on?
My PA14 has one rudder control, I would like to add a second control like the newer models, how to connect the new rudder control?
A pic of the rudder would have been nice so we could identify if the model is the same as ours.
It would probably be more helpful if you showed what you're talking about. You mentioned tightening the strings and moving handles but the camera didn't show it.
Diagrams?
Are you kidding me? First he says the lines may be affected by varying temps….hello…it’s a damn kayak. Then has to be the worst tutorial on how to adjust….guess they want to force 😮you to a dealer for outrageous repairs
This is not helpful for the 2021 360 pro angler
(Update: OK, YOU MUST LINE UP THE SEAT-so the screw can reach the hole… would have been a lot easier if you show what that looks like. How hard would that be? Knowing you had to dub in a disclaimer-weak as it is. Do better Hobie.)
WARNING: THEY’VE DUBBED INTO THE VIDEO LATER DON’T TAKE THAT SPOOL PLATE OFF! Man, if you pull that plate off… impossible to screw it back down!!! I heard them dub over that add on about making small adjustments, no need to open. Should have known better-they added it for a reason. WTF?! Should be an urgent warning NOT to open it. I can’t get screw in the hole! Wow, really Hobie? 2020 Outback and that’s the best design you can give us?
think you have to loosen the strings with the screws on top of the plate.
That top screw is what holds the rudder. If you push up on the rudder while trying to screw it in that should work.
Hobies are a joke! I have a 12 and 14 ft 360 fishing kayaks ...NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS!!!!
This has not been my experience. I absolutely love Hobies. Hope you get your issues resolved, tight lines!
