Supplied as standard on all Hobie Adventure and Tandem Island Sailing Kayaks, the Rudder-Up Strap keeps the rudder in it’s up position securely
Hobie Island Rudder-Up Strap
Although the Island rudders can be kept in their up position by cleating in the rudder up line, using this strap takes all tension off the rudder up / down lines. It is good practice to use the rudder-up strap (or the AI / TI rudder cover) whenever the kayak is in storage and especially for transport.
