Hobie owners
 

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 my rape whistle ..

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.

You have some high hopes there...

I'll keep my ears peeled for that whistle when you and larry share a tent.. :hihi:
