Hobie rudder line replacement - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had the same problem on my '08 Outfitter with the levers. The only thing I could do is to tie the rudder lines with more tension from the internal bungie so that the increased tension holds the rudder down or up, but the trade-off is it is pretty difficulty to stow and deploy.

Iceman, is there a way to convert from levers to the new pull chords? Or should I remove the fishing rods and install a newer kayak?
