Hobie Adventure Island instruction

2007 Adventure Island Rudder “T” Handle Kit

As you start sailing your Hobie Mirage Adventure Island in more challenging conditions, you may require more force to keep the rudder locked in the down position. This rudder lock upgrade kit will allow you to apply more holding power for the rudder. To install this new system you will be removing the up/down handle that you are currently using. Follow the instructions below for the kit installation.

1.Using an Allen key wrench, unscrew the bolt that is passing through that handle and pull the handle off of the control arm shaft.

2.Push the control arm shaft in so that it falls in the hull. Reach inside the hull and grab the control arm to take both of the lines off of it. This part is to be removed from the hull as it won’t be needed anymore. Also, untie the bungee cord and loop of line from the small spectra lines.

3.Plug the hole that is created with the push in cap that is

included with this kit.

4.To install the new tubes and lines, you will need to partially disassembly the rud- der housing. Start by loosening the screws and unwrapping the lines completely from the two screws on the underside of the rud- der and the one screw on top of the rudder near the main bolt.

5.Pull on the lines that exit the hull so that they completely pull out of the rudder housing.
