Yeah, but if you take them off, how do you get them back on the correct sides? That's always been OUR problem. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


On the Hobies it is easy, the rudder arms curve inward. You can also use a neat trick flumpmaster showed me. Wrap a band of red electrical tape on the port rudder arm and on the port end of the tiller connecting rod. Chris's rudder pins are top notch, I have had the boat two years now and have never replaced the rudder pins. The cams and plungers however have been replaced a few times.


Not ALL Hobies! I sailed out through the surf on my Hobie 18 with the rudders on backwards...I was pretty new to things and couldn't, for the life of me, figure out WHY the boat was so hard to steer and impossible to tack.
