Installed the sail rudder for my revo...Problem solved "known warrentry issue"

What a kick in the ass improvement over reg rudder...and could'nt figure out the install on the turbo fins...the mast kept spinning    maybe someone in the know can show me at ARW!!!  with just the sailrudder being on there it handles soooo much better...can't wait to try the turbo fins...

Mike, when you say the 'mast kept spinning' do you mean you're having problems getting the old non-turbo mast out or is it the new turbo mast that is spinning?

Look up the installation on YouTube bro

the old one even took vizegrips right where it screws in and clamped over the plastic...it kept spinning...am I missing something here...righty tighty lefty loosey except brass...???  if that chit's brass I f'd it by turning the wrong way..

Wow,  They should just unscrew.  I have had to use vise grips because you can't get enough torque with a screw driver in the slot but other than a little lock-tite on the threads, there should be nothing stopping the mast from screwing straight out.  I don't recall the threads being reversed, but they might be brass.  It sounds like the threads might be stripped on the inside.  If that's the case, Hobie is great about warranty repairs and replacements.  When I has a seam split on my amas, Austin Kayak shipped me a new one at no charge and it arrived in two days.

Dude, what do you expect?  He is busy selling kayaks and servicing others from the people who are loyal to him. I have seen him spend an hour or more tracking down a $5 part for an old Hobie Cat for a total stranger. Maybe he didn't have the time at that exact moment.  In the past two days we have run into a dozen Hobies and their owners at Spring Lake (all displaying WT stickers) with nothing but great things to say about that shop.

maybe your right seemed harried at the moment.................was pissed I didnt by my ride from him...was more of what it felt like.........but hey I was going through portland at the time I had money and bought there....

You have a 2012 boat right? Does the drive say v2? There is two different styles of drive and fin up grades. V2 should thread in, but v1 was pressed in with a set screw. Also before you completely mess it up take it to a dealer and see if they will warrantee it. If the brass bushing is spinning with the mast I would look in to replacing it.
