Rudder up and down lines not working correctly

Post by johnschenkel »

I recently replaced the lines in my rudder assembly on my C22. I placed each line in the correct up or down hole on the rudder and ran both lines over the horizontal piece in between the rudder cheeks. I launched the sailboat this past weekend and it doesn't seem like the lines are working correctly. Neither line if you pull on them is moving the rudder. If I push the rudder into the down position, the down line, if cleated will keep the rudder down. The problem is that if I pull on the up or down line the rudder is not moving. Did I run the lines wrong? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, John
