I highly recommend keeping a small tool kit on board. Last night my front turbo fin mast came loose and I had to paddle back to shore. Had I possessed an Allen wrench to tighten the set screw I would have been able to continue fishing.

Thanks Eben ,,. I'll try to put something together this weekend .. The thought of paddling my Outback a great distance is horrifying ..

Was thinking the same thing! That sucks Eben!

How spoiled we are.. The horror of having to paddle is unthinkable :) the fish were stacked in my honey hole too.. :(

As a side note, I'm catching 5 to 10 times more fish in my hobie than I used to do from shore. :)

kayaks are stealth .. you can get right in them .

Yup. Ninja fishing. Especially the hobie. Regular yaks with paddles make splashing noises

glad you were not injured from Paddling :chased:

when I switched to the larger turbo fins I used loctite on the threads. I agree a small tool kit and replacement O rings is a good idea.

with the Hobie drive we undertake longer distance adventures under conditions that paddle kayakers would not do.

Also I purchased a small "air horn" to keep in the yak! $9.00 at local marine store....for emergencies! Ya never know when you may need to warn an oncoming boat or hail a boat for assistance?

i have one on my neck light for surf fishing, got a two pack for 6 bucks, 120 plus decibels, things are scary loud, hope i never need it, also works nice for holding the flash light in your mouth.
