Storing Hobie PA 360 drive

I know some of you already have the 360 type hobies and drives.  How do you store them when you out of the water? My boats on a trailer outside so I do not leave any stuff on it or in it

Posted a pick of my drive stored with the fins ‘flat’ on a plastic box. Any better ideas or thoughts.  Thanks.

Wow, that drive definitely looks more complicated to service.  Very awesome though! 

Just curious, can you not lay it on its side?  Just wondering if something is sticking out preventing that.

I've not yet figured out a good way to store it, so it's typically on the garage floor - in no particular way.  planning to clear some space on a shelf for the drive and the seat

I don’t have a 360 drive, but it looks OK to me the way it is. I doubt it’s a super-critical issue and I’d be surprised if Hobie even has an official recommendation. My GT drives tend to be hung up by a pedal or laying flat(ish), or whatever is most convenient

Throw a loop of rope around the pedals and hang it up?

I keep the drive separate from the boat, but only for security reasons. Most of the add on items; PSD, 360 Drive, rods, cart wheels, and other items are stored in the house where there is better temperature control. Leaving these in the garage with the boat is fine, but the garage tends to get a lot warmer than the "mud room" and many of these items decay in heat.

It also gives a bit of security given the Meathead that breaks into your garage doesn't have everything necessary to grab your Yak and take your place among those blessed with water mobility.

I lay the drive flat on the floor with fins parallel to the shaft. I eyeball it after each use, but have not found much in the way of user serviced parts. There is no exposed chain like the older drives, and other than a couple of lubrication points and a hex screw tightening, I've not found that maintenance is a regular thing.

Like Tinker said... use a small loop of rope and hang it. I would hang it in the house, maybe in the closet. You could also place a garbage bag over it and then hang it.
