Old thread but after searching them all this is the closest to the problem I'm having:fishnfreak said:Hi guys and gals, been a long time since I last posted much but I need some help.
My PA has steering issues, which cause me to lose left steer. I have done the rudder lines up real tight and this may be the issue. I tied it up before heading out and soon it becomes hard to turn left and I seem to go around in circles.
It happens every time I use it and is pretty much the reason I don't yak fish as much as I used to
My 2009 Outback developed steering problems today. I thought,at first, it was a simple case of the large number of jellyfish bumping the rudder up . Further investigation disproved that. I simply lose steerage & the yak spins to the left. I tried using the cleat to force the rudder down but it still spins to the left. Nipped up the bank & took a quick look & it appears there is about 50mm of slack control line on both the up & down lines so not overly tight as in the above issue. Any ideas on a simple fix?
Not having nimble fingers I'm reluctant to strip it down totally as my passion fingers will probably cause more damage.
