Kayak Rudder troubleshooting - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Took a buddy out on his new (used) Revo for the maiden voyage yesterday... Surf was low, launch was good, but ran into issues with the rudder and we think it just needs adjustment.

Symptoms:

Drops and raises rudder fine. Turns left fine. Turns right poor if at all. When he turns the handle to go right the rudder flips up a bit making the rudder not dig into the water and so no turn.

I was able to put a bungie on it for the day to save the trip but think that an adjustment might be needed. Thinking tighten up the right hand turn cable?

What do you think...peanut gallery assemmmmmbbbblleeeee!!!!!

Thanks guys!
