Hobie Kayaks / Hobie Turbo Fin Mast Snapped
« on: June 30, 2021, 09:55:51 PM »
Last outing one of the masts snapped on the mirage drive, rendering the fin completely useless.
Has this happened to anyone before? I tried to search around the forums but didn't find much. Adam, does MBK have replacements on hand (I believe non-threaded)?
Replacing the mast seems pretty straight forward, it's getting the small snapped piece out of the drive that seems like it will be a pain in the butt. Anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking of hammering a tap into it and trying to somehow twist it out (even though it is not threaded) Any input is greatly appreciated
