manual abstract
As a member of the Hobie way of life, you are now on the road to pure adventure on the water. This owner’s manual is designed to help you get maximum enjoyment from your new Hobie. But more importantly, it is designed to help you use it safely. Reference the Product Support pages at Hobiefishing.com to check for updated Owner's Manual versions. 1 About the Design of your Pro Angler Cockpit Open-top cockpit design allows the operator to enter and exit the boat easily from the shore, dock or water. Drainage scupper holes make the floor self-bailing. Seat Mesh covered seat back & seat bottom breathe and stay dry. Adjustable seatback that can be tuned to maximize comfort. Hull Design The design of the Pro Angler hull maximizes stability and a shallow draft without sacrificing speed. Wave piercing bow for speed and a silent approach, multi-hull transom for rock solid stability. Maneuverability Your rudder system comes pre-installed by our factory. This rudder is mounted forward of most traditional boats which shortens the turning radius and ensures the rudder is out of the way of your fishing lines. Scupper Holes Drain holes (scuppers) in the cockpit and cargo area allow any water that enters the cockpit to immediately flow back out. Graphics Graphics are molded into the hull, so they will not peel or flake off for the life of the boat. I B I E HobieFishing.com Hobie MirageDrive Drive Installation 1. Insert the Hobie MirageDrive™ into the opening of the hull so it is facing ; forward. The front of the MirageDrive™ can be determined by the location of the fin masts. The forward edge is illustrated tO the right. Stainless Steel Masts FORWARD mm V:M:r Sk\ 111 o W1 2. To lock the Drive into the hull, lower the Drive into the hull so that the drum shaft posts drop down into the Click-N-Go cams and lock into place. _ 3. To remove the MirageDrive™, flip the Click-N-Go cam back and pull the drive out. The cams should automatically reset themselves for installation, but if they do not just flip the cam forward. Pedal Adjustment The pedals of the Hobie MirageDrive™ are adjustable to accommodate different leg lengths. To adjust the pedals: 1. Squeeze the adjuster handles located on the pedal cranks. 2. While squeezing the adjuster handle, move the pedal crank to the most comfortable position. Like a bicycle, it is best to adjust the pedals so your legs do not fully extend causing your knees to lock. Make sure that the metal pin on the crank fully engages the adjustment hole. 3 Drum Casting Washing When turning cable adjusting nuts, turn the nut with a 7/16 inch open-end wrench, only giving it one-half a turn at a time, then do the same to the remaining three nuts. Re-check the tension and adjust accordingly. Note: Keep the pedal shafts and masts parallel. When the shafts are together, both masts must be straight down. The idler pulley cable (see item B in the illustration below) will be tightened automatically when the front chain assembly is tightened. After using in salt water or dirty water, wash the Hobie MirageDrive™ with fresh water. Allow to dry, then spray metal parts with water-displacing oil or lube equivalent. Special attention should be paid to threaded cable ends, lock nuts, chain, shafts, pedals, and adjustment pins. Cable Adjustments Determining if adjustment is needed... Occasionally the cables may need to be re-tightened. The cables should be kept taut; however, the front chain should be a little tighter than the rear chain. Push with your thumbs at the points marked (A) with moderate pressure (see the image to the right). The side of the chain should not go beyond the inside edge of the drum casting. Miscellaneous Maintenance Periodically check for loose screws or frayed cables. If a cable has a broken strand, replace it with new cable. CAUTION Care should be taken to avoid striking objects with the Hobie MirageDrive™. If you bend a mast, it usually can be straightened. To straighten, remove the MirageDrive™ from the boat and insert the Drive into something solid, such as a vise. Remove the fin, then carefully bend the mast until straight. To test for "true", roll mast on a flat surface and straighten as needed until the masts roll evenly. If the mast cannot be straightened or becomes cracked or fatigued, replace the mast. HobieFishing.com 4 Pro Angler Rudder System Pro Angler Rudder Features The rudder is easy to control and responsive enough to turn the Pro Angler in its own length. It is spring loaded and will automatically retract when encountering underwater obstructions. Manually it can quickly retract recessing safely under the hull. Access to the steering drum will be needed to make any trim adjustments to the steering lines or to replace the rudder blade. To begin use a phillips head screwdriver and remove the four screws attaching the black plastic cover. Two more phillips head screws are used as dead-ends for the steering lines. Loosen and adju...
