Normal?

Had the same issue on mine. Ended up needing a bit of maintenance. The lines that run around the rotating half of the rudder we're screwed up.

Here's how to R&R, about 3/4 of the way down the page. Titled "Twist and Stow Connections Detail".

Hey a big shout out to Andy at OEX Sunset bch, for fixing my rudder with a few adjustments that evidentally I didn't do right, stopped in to say hi and he was on it, it was nice meeting you Andy, thanks for the help, it has been quite a few trips out without having to have somebody push my rudder down...worked perfect both days in Dana...thanks again...
P.S shoulda went with just a bit lighter spinner baits for the rods I brought, worked great for the turds though
