Servicing Hobie rudder? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Speaking of rudders.......while fishing at DP Saturday I noticed that mine had some up/down play on it, it felt weird. When I got home I made a phone call and was told to remove the sticker that covers the screw that holds the handle in place and tighten the bolt using an allen wrench. I'm glad I checked immediately because I was able to give it at least one full turn before it actually felt like it was starting to tighten up. I would have hated for the handle to come off at the worst possible time.
