Well;

I just reach down with a boat hook and pull it up.

Also; I covered the nut side of the bolt which the rudder blade pivets on, with a big gob of Bondo. Then "faired" it, so the bunji cord does not catch. I got tired of reaching down to release it every time.

I also have a pocket on a short rope which I put over the lower end of the rudder when up. The bunji cords get weak after a while. This works great too.
