Made an emergency landing airport. Trouble with right rudder control. Landed without incident.
The Reporter stated that a post flight investigation determined the rudder cable had departed a roller in the after fuselage. It was repair and appears to be an isolated event.
A light sport Sea Ray amphibian pilot reported that the rudder control cable departed an aft empennage roller and made right rudder movements difficult so he declared an emergency and landed.
