Posts: 829 Charleston, SC | I don't put anything in the bottom of the rudder pins on my 16. As long as you have pins in the top, the rudders will not come off because the upper casting keeps them down. I've never had a problem. ringding = split ring

As for only using the top pins, experiance tells me differant. after a capsize, I found that one of the pins did actualy find its way out while upside down. USE BOTH PINS

As long as you have pins in the top, the rudders will not come off because the upper casting keeps them down. Unless/until you turtle it....then the whole rudder/tiller/crossbar/hiking stick assembly could easily end up on the bottom of the lake....expensive! I realized what the bottom holes were for the first time I went turtle. I was inexperienced at the time and had no idea what to do next. How to right it came to me slowly, but the "bottom hole" revelation jumped right out at me! Jerome Vaughan Hobie 16 Clinton, Mi'sippi | | | Re: Split rings on rudder pintles

Get some of the quick clips. They just slide in hole and click when they lock. I use them on Hobie 17 as pins go in from bottom. Just grab round end and pull when ready to remove. REAL easy.

I'm boatless.
