[quote=curlydastooge]Hi guys... Back again... I was just wondering if anybody had tried the "bungee (shock) cord on the pulldown line" idea before... I've been through the rudders and they are adjusted correctly... I can pull them down and lock them and they stay as long as I don't hit kelp... Actually, it's sort of a benefit when they kick up in the kelp. The kelp then slides off the rudder instead of getting dragged along... I was just trying to figure out an easier way of pulling them back down when I'm out of the kelp again. I had pretty much given up on the idea in "etraders" photo album (about drilling the holes and adding pins). I agree that the Prindle rudder system is pretty good. It's just that pesky "pulling the rudders back down after they kick up" issue that has me thinking... Soooo, if nobody has tried it before, I may just go ahead and give it a test and see what happens... I can always go back to the standard line that I have if it doesn't work... Who knows? It may revolutionize Prindle rudder technology... Or not!... I'm having delusions of being the Thomas Edison of Prindle catamarans... :lol: :-D ... I'll let you know how it works out if and when I finally get around to trying it... ;-)[/quote]
