Repairs
Rudder repair
Rudder cable replacement usually takes about 15 minutes. Due to specialized crimping tools, you will need to bring the ski in to replace rudder cables. If this is not possible go to your local boating supplier who should have 2mm stainless steel cable and the necessary crimping tools. Make sure the crimping ferrules are stainless or nickel-coated, plain copper ferrules corrode very quickly.
Rudder installation
To install a new rudder:
1) Remove the black carbon cover at the rear of the ski. Use a Pozi #2 screwdriver to remove the screw.
2) Remove the nut on top of the old rudder and slide it out. Remove all washers.
3) Remove the nut and all the washers from the new rudder.
4) Slide the new rudder in from the bottom of the ski.
5) Add 8mm flat washers as required. See step 9 to work out the correct number of washers.
6) Slide on the bar with rudder cables attached. Make sure the square hole lines up with the square machined on the shaft.
7) Add the 6mm lock washer.
8) Screw on the M6 Nylock nut and tighten with a 10mm spanner or socket.
9) When tightening watch the gap between the rudder and the bottom of the boat. If the rudder pulls against the boat before the nut is fully tightened remove an 8mm washer. If the gap is more than 1mm with the nut fully tightened, add 8mm washers as required.
9) After the M6 nut is tight replace the black carbon cover. Don’t overtighten the screw, only tighten until the cover doesn’t move anymore.
