You should inspect your rudderlines every once in awhile, where the line comes in contact with the black plastic grommets under the rudder assembly cover. File down sharp edges/replace rudderlines when needed. Also always carry extra rudderline just incase.

Yeah mo' parts...mo problems...but I'll gladly live with it. I urge everybody to be prepared with tools and extra parts...you never know when it can save your ass or somebody elses ass.
Tony it sounds like someone is going to get a fully rebuild Hobie, with spare parts kit when the 2015's come out on Friday as you trade up. just think, no repairs for a year!!!
