- DIY - Hobie Rudder Line Repair - Replacement
static.hobieca...
I had a little mishap while landing my kayak. The rudder got stuck and when I forced it to try and lift it, the rudder line broke. In this video, I go through the process of either splicing in a section to repair a broken line or to repair the line entirely. Rather than buy the expensive Hobie Spectra line, I purchased some similar braided dacron line or $.28 a foot at West Marine. If you have a broken or soon to be broken rudder line, don't hesitate to give it a try yourself.

Followed this video and successfully repaired the broken line that holds the rudder down. Thanks very much
Great video. A lot easier to do after watching this! I saved over $120 which is what the Hobie dealer quoted me. Thanks!
Thank U ! my up and down lines werent working and watching your video helped to show me how to adjust them!
Thanks, this was helpful as I attempt a Twist-n-Stow up/down repair to my i12s after a weeklong backcountry trip.
Thank you. Well done. 🎣
Great video ! Samantha broke my down rudder line ! Trying to fix it now ! Thanks !
Lol too funny Jack, mine broke yesterday so now i'm watching this.
You probably dont give a shit but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been binge watching with my girlfriend recently =)
@Camilo Simon yea, have been watching on Instaflixxer for months myself =)
Second or third time this video has helped me. Thanks again!
How do you push the line through the tube?
Thx man👍 i watch this, fix on my outback.
Video nicely done & very helpful. Thanks!
A great video, thanks for posting. Was looking for a hobie video for rudder install for Quest 13 and yours was actually more helpful.
Nice handy hints that you need to know!!! It's good to keep on top of these things!! Hope you can get out in the water soon take care Steve and tight lines!!!!
Yea, now pretty much any breakdown is a no biggie. That is a big plus.
Perfect timing. Finally got my roof rack and am ready to take my new hobie out. I am pretty sure the rudder line is muffed up and needed some directions, but I have a different model.
The rudder systems if it is a twist and stow will all be the same on all the Hobies. The shells are different but the components are generally the same.
Thanks, Steve. Just had to fix the same line today! 👌🏼
I have only had the outback for a year now love it, no problems yet but I know it will happen ,thanks for the info.
They are actually a well designed boat. I beat the crap out of mine and don't take care of it and it keeps going. Pretty basic design as well.
Very helpful video. Thanks a lot Steve!
Thank you nicely filmed and narrated
Thanks for another excellent vid! Yes, I think WestMarine carries either the same or a very similar Spectra line that is an ideal replacement for the OEM lines. This vid reminds me that I probably should go buy 5' or 10' of it right now so I have it on hand when the inevitable break happens and I won't be stuck in that classic "night before" a trip situation.
Yea, I was really happy to find that they had it. A lot easier than buying the expensive "Hobie" stuff from ACK.
Thank you very much for this informative video.
Worked great! Thanks
Excellant video mate. Thank you 👍👍👍
Multi talented Steve, great informative vid bra👍 keep up the great work sir🤙👍
Thanks Diego. I try. LOL.
Great content in your video, very helpful
actually love all your "windy day" and "DIY" vids... i spend half the time not fishing and those vids give me something to do and give me some ideas. thanks steve!
PS. show that rooster someday on a video hahaha
Thanks Manuel. I just don't like posting more than a couple at a time without some fishing videos. Not all people are like you. I think they are an important part of the game that people should realize. Maybe a catch and cook on a street Rooster. LOL.
Thank you !
Darn need to see the rutter part
Correction- I seen it, thought you said you had already done it. Good job!
How do I connect inside. I have two control levers and these two metal T bar things. The tubes and lines are loose in a bucket.
Thanks for the link to the manual. I’ll try that first
keep up the great work with the channel man!
I will. Keep on hustling yourself.
very helpful stuff man
Thanks. Hope it helps some people.
Good to know, I've been eyeballin' the Hobies for a long time now.
They are pretty much the only game changer kayak. Expensive but it does really improve your fishing skills.
Is steve ok?? he's never gone 5 days without posting...
Do we have anyone that lives near by or vacationing there? maybe they can go looking for his house to see if he is ok?
John Coltrane what is his last name? Maybe we should check the news in the area.
his name is Steven Kazuo Nakano. it's from the blog mentioned from one of the subs steveislost.com
The wind.
Hello friend, very good video. I have a Vibe kayak and the wiring pod comes out, I thought about putting the plastic tubes from the Hobie in it. Are they glued on the outside or inside the sheath where the cable passes? Thanks a lot!
good video...how do u fish the line thru the very narrow tubes at the aft............
Steve, while your relaxing during high wind downtime, show us how you sharpen your fillet knife you effortlessly use. thanks
Yea, will do a video about that.
great video thanks
Glad it was helpful.
I love your vids and I am from Australia and I am 13 and do kayak fishing but my kayak is not a proper fishing kayak without rod holders
Hey Beau, the kayak is just something that you sit on and gets you to the fishing spot. Don't worry about all the bells and whistles. The more experience you gain, the more stuff you stop using. Your better off just keeping the basic stuff you need. Do you watch Rokkit Kit. Great youtube channel.
Great video 14:09
do you have a video where you replace the bungie portion of the line? I bought a used hobie and I think that's the major issue, worn out bungie lines.
Steve, I have a Mirage Revolution 13 and I can't figure out how the bungee for the Down rudder attaches to. Does anyone have any idea?
Hello I just had same issue here, wondering how did that 28 cent west marine line hold up? Since this video released 7 years ago, thanks if you could tell me.
Awesome video I'm will need to us the info someday thx
Yea, you are a Hobiest so it will happen one day. Not a bad idea to fix them before they break.
TQ, very useful vid .
Glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching.
good info on this video.. thanks
Glad it could be helpful. Eventually it will happen to everybody.
good info
Glad you liked it.
great work!:) keep doing❤ thumbs up
Appreciate it Rave. Thanks for watching.
5:25 that is certainly two loops but they are not joined as I would think. an over-hand knot loop join is where you slip each loop through each other and then the tag end of one is brought through the loop of it's end thus the loops grab each other. I think you did it this way because you simply couldn't do a loop knot because you ran the rudder line in through the aft line guide tube. I think you did this because you can feed the spectra or equivalent through that way, just not the other way, which would have enabled the loop knot. What's frustrating me on my Revo now is this very thing, i'm going to have to just use a square knot (with a drop of CA glue) to join the two pieces. If I could run the new section from the fwd end of the tube guide I could do a simple loop join. I have even used 20lb mono to pull the section from fwd to aft end and the damn new section just won't pass through the aft end of the tube guide.
love the vid
Thanks for checking it out.
OH NO THE DREADED RUDDER FAILURE. Can't stand this annual project.
EliasVFishing I can relate
Yea, all four have failed on me at one point or another. But at least now it is a couple of minute fix. Experience rules.
Yo, can you do a video about kayak fishing canals in strong current? I like fishing the large canals by islamorada but knowing more about the currents and fish paths would help a lot. Thanks a bunch man
Fish an hour before and the hour after slack tide. The fish don't like the extreme current as well as it takes too much work. You can also fish the outlet side when the current is ripping. Fish will hang out along the edges of the current where it is not so strong. Chum always helps a lot.
What knot at the end by the rudder? Mine needs tightenining. The dealer is three hours away. Thanks
How hard was it to thread the line through the tubes! Did you use a a draw string or something?
They have caps on each end that just pop out. The tube itself is pretty big diameter so no problem just pushing the line through.
hello key west kayak fishing, could you consider doing a video on how to avoid sharks when fishing? thanks for your vids
LOL. They are everywhere. Always. You just don't always know. The best thing is to understand them and you will not worry about it. They are just like dogs. Most are just happy go lucky and will come to you if you have food. No food and they don't care about you. Sometimes they will be nosy and will want to know what you are doing. They have no hands so they use their mouth and snout to bump. It is not aggression just being inquisitive. But, there is those few that are just plain mean and will bite. Those you just have to be aware of.
Steve- How has the dacron line held up?
Can you do a video of how to put a outboard motor on a kayak
Here you go. ua-cam.com/video/r7ZEqCVuk_M/v-deo.html
Hello que te paso compadre con los videos?
Mucho viento.
The west marine in marathon
I use the one in Key West. I assume they have the same stuff. They have it in the rope area on one of the big spools just like all the other rope. You buy it by the foot. It was .28 a foot.
Bro did you take a vacation?
The wind. Blew me to Cuba. LOL.
can you please use the Hawaiian sling. that would be really cool 😎
Just waiting for the wind to lay down. When it is windy, the water is dirty. Waiting for some clean days.

Windy days.
You good Steve?
Windy days.
Should we call the Coastguard and hospitals and jails for Steve. I hope you are ok

Where the hell is that rooster?
Key West is infested with Chickens and Roosters. Freaking 3am wake up calls. Even the PETA people hate them.
