How to maintain your Hobie Mirage Drive

[@markgrotto7852]

I’m into using mine every week in muddy salt water 4 years now. Never did much except replace fins. I did eventually lose the rear bearing and replaced it with a ceramic aftermarket. Working better than the plastic rollers for sure.

Make a video about your custom leash for the mirage drive. For now I use a piece of rope but like your D ring system. Trying to grow my Yakventures KZbin channel as well. Love my Hobie Outback

Really good VID on cleaning the drive. Much appreciated.

Thanks for watching!

Looks good. I would add to inspect for any damaged or bent parts.... Better to fix before finding the failure on the water (especially for offshore trips).

[@lacustomkayaks]

Great idea!

Great video. I am getting my compass this weekend and have a question. What is the minimum distance between cross bars should be on a roof of a car for transporting hobie compass? Mine is set to 90 cm and I am thinking if its too narrow. Thanks in advance

How do you adjust the chain setting if it needs it

[@yakventures9544]

I’m gonna go out and tighten my kick up fins 😁

Thank you for this! Do you all apply the Hobie lubricants?

[@lacustomkayaks]

Yep we do!

What about the lube? About how often should I use it? Beast way to apply it?

how do you store your drive in your garage when not in use?
