Trade secret to buy another part?? not so much!

This upgrade is well worth the investment. You will immediately notice how much more responsive the extra size is over the original. The upgrade allows you to really fine adjust your kayak to use the wind to work a bank with much less adjustments. If you are a car topper you will want to make sure to always use your cart to prevent damaging the new rudder bc it does stick out more than the OEM part. This upgrade is well worth the 25 bucks. Just fyi if you plan on ordering I believe your best bet is to contact ACK because they ordered all the units Hobie had state side. The good news is it will ship quickly. I had my rudder upgrade shipped to me for under five bucks and received it in about 24 hours. Check out some pics...   As far as install it is pretty easy. I ran into a road block on mine but I'm pretty sure it was a unique issue bc 2 of my other buddies had zero issues and had them installed in around half an hour. The process only requires the removal of 4 screws, 1 allen wrench screw(only 2014 models), one Pin, a sister pin screw and one double knot. Let me know if you have questions or need other info. I can share a link with more detailed instructions... Tight lines, Adrian

My question is how to drop the rudder shaft out of the housing. I can't find any pictures or instructions for getting the rudder out of the PA. I took the top cover off but it is not clear what to do next.

See thst pin that holds the plastic drum on.....thatis just a press fit. So drive it out from front to back. You may have to put pliers on it to pull it out once past the rudder post. The rudder post and rudder will now drop out. I think the rest is obvious but if need help then please ask.

I just happened to be doing mine at the time I wrote that. I noticed my new rudder is slightly warped on the end. Im already into the job and not sure how much negative effect it may have and am proceeding but you may want to check yours for the same issue. You mariner guys may want to look at stock also.
