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.

Thank for the info Tony. I guess I should check out my rudder lines and get a spare rudder line in my repair kit
