Rudders! Huh! My rudders are almost impossible to lift. They're totally waterlogged. I've love to see how you rigged them.

Similar to what I did. I replaced my rudder lines while I was at it

Confusion. If I understand correctly, those new lines only work one way. The hold the rudders in the up position but do not hold the rudders in the down position.

My rudder lines do both.
