stiff rudder

[snafu]

Hello everyone , i have a Hobie Outback maybe 2015? The problem i have is the rudder lever is very very stiff! The lines look ok and there doesn't seem to be anything obvious to cause it? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Turning or lifting? Sure its the lever and not the rudder hinges themselves being too tight an binding?

turning, the rudder itself seems to be pretty free, i,m thinking it might be the lever some how
