Thanks for the video Jeff. Just installed the Boonedox rudder that Joe sent me on my 23 Outback. Split ring needle nose plyers worked good on loosening the rope knot. Had a hard time getting the rope back thru the new rudder, finally pushed it thru with a small finishing nail. 😂

I’m pretty sure you installed the spring incorrectly. You need to flip it around. You should not have to press fit it upon install. You’ll notice when you pull it out that it will now be over extended. No worries just flip it around that way when you pull up on the retract cord you will have pressure. Look at the underwater part of the video and you will notice that the rudder is not fully in the down position. Also to note that the tracking which is the biggest downside to a stock rudder is greatly improved with this rudder!

I did struggle with the spring. There's only two ways to get it in there; one with the long leg in the plastic housing and the short leg in the rudder, and the other was swapping those two positions. My standard rudder wasn't fully deploying due to it being a 2019, and the majority of the last 5 years, the spring was compressed, stored with it tucked in. That spring needs to be replaced and I will do so when I get to a good Hobie dealer that has parts. My colleague Joe Komyati suggested this good practice on the installation; Prepare the rudder with gluing on the spacers FIRST. Then remove the old rudder, and let the spring hang from the housing without removing it. That way you know that it's going back in the right way. I did not do that, and tried both ways. The long leg in the plastic housing made the most sense, and I believe that is the correct orientation. - Jeff Little, Sales Manager, Boonedox USA

@@boonedoxusa241 yep your good, my bad. Small side in housing and big side in rudder. That makes sense now with having a worn out spring.
