8.1 DESCRIPTION
The water rudder-retract system is manually operated by a lever through a system of cables and pulleys.
Steering is directed from the aircraft rudder steering system.
8.2 ADJUSTMENT
Rigging of the water rudder steering cables is accomplished by centering the airplane rudder and adjusting the
turnbuckles such that both rudders trail with the float center line. Cables should be tensioned to 10 pounds, +/- 5
psi.
Retraction cables should be rigged such that the top of the rudder blade is against the rudder stop on the rudder
posts in the up position and that the cables are just slack in the down position.
8.3 SERVICE SCHEDULE
Cables - inspect for fraying annually.
Pulleys - inspect and lubricate annually.
