SOMA OP enthusiast Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 324 South Florida	I just broke the #*@&%NG lower casting on my TheMightyHobie18 rudder assembly!!!! The rudder didn't kick up and the casting snapped!! Does anyone out there have a Hobie 18 (or a 17)they are selling as parts? My Hobie is an 85 and had the original rudder castings so I need either one of those or a pair of the newer complete rudder assemblies for the TheMightyHobie18 or H17. If anyone knows anyone that may be able to help please let me know. Many thanks! Fred F (ex Hobie 18)

[img]http://www.thebeachcats.com/images/articles/h18rudders/image003TN.jpg" align="left" vspace="5" hspace="6[/img]I had no end of trouble with the rudder system not kicking up on my '81, broke two castings and one transom before I finally replaced the whole thing with the new system. So I always tell people to upgrade if po$$ible, the upgrade package is expensive, but every time mine broke I lost vacation time or missed a regatta. If you end up staying with the old system, here is a fix for the old system that allows manual release of the cams.
