[Paddlewise] K-Light Expedition Questions

Just bought two K-Lights, really enjoy them, but have a few questions for 
those of you with more experience.

How do you get the rudder to hang vertical, the bracket on mine tilts upward 
at the back and so the rudder will not go all the way down to vertical?

The rudder pedals will not stay up where the balls of my feet are, they 
rotate on the tube they are attached to down to the bottom of the kayak and 
are useless there.  Did I miss something in the instructions on how to jam 
the tubes together so they will not rotate or is that just the way they are, 
really didn't need the rudder on the first paddle on a flat lake yesterday, 
but may what it out on the Sound?

There is a cinch (SP) strap about 12 in. ahead of the stern going across the 
boat.  It's very nice, but I have no idea what's for.  Any help.

Is there a secret to getting the rudder cables to stay out of the way of the 
alum. Stern section while you push it in, they seem to wrap around the stern 
plastic peace and make it just stop short.

And lastly, should you roll the skin up differently each time you put the 
boat away to avoid creases and is it OK to leave the boat in the back pack 
for long periods of time or should it be assembled most of the time.

Thanks to all, and even though I'm a lurker on the list, I really benefit 
from all the knowledge on this list, stuff you just would never think about, 
thanks to all!
