So in the midst of a race in the waters off Lewes, Delaware I needed to do a hard over in 20 knot winds and I believe that and the 6 ft waves knocked my rudder cables off of the pulleys. I got them back on the pulleys but noticed 2 things - the cables seemed to have some of slack and a single thread of wire in the cable was broken.
A couple questions for the community - if I need to tighten cables do I do it at rudder wheel? And if so has anyone seen a good online tutorial? Secondly, should I look at replacing the entire cable over a single strand?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
