Check the entire boat before and after every use. Key areas to inspect
are the rudder mounts, shroud/bridle mounts, and wire thimble (rust
build-up and frayed wires.)
The most effective
maintenance tool on
your Hobie Cat is a fresh
water rinse after every
use.
Your rudder assembly come from the factory pre-adjusted for optimal
detent pressure. This detent keeps the rudder in either the “up” or
“down position. With a lot of use, the rudder detent pressure may need
to be adjusted. To increase the amount of detent, tighten the bolts of
the side of the rudder housing. It doesn’t take much adjustment to
make a big difference. IF THE BOLT IS TOO TIGHT IT WILL BIND
RUDDER MOVEMENT.
