I know it catches fish. It's just that, at its best, it's only slightly more exciting than not catching anything at all.
Repairing broken teeth and sprocket on Hobie Mirage Drive 180 (gave my drive dental implants).

My chain was too loose and the teeth broke off my rear sprocket. I attempt to repair it with stainless steel screws and JB Weld. Will it work?

Hobie iTrek 9 (iTrek9) inflatable SUP/Kayak review
Steering while not moving in relationship with water is not possible with rudder. (But you know that.) Not having a skag or keel without a rudder and moving in relation to water that surfboard will want to turn sideways to line of travel. I would suggest making a replacement rudder out of thin plywood the same size paint it and cut 1” off depth till it give you enough rudder control and can be left down as skag. As far as keeping boat deck clean good quality floor wax or car wax should make it easier to clean but slipperyer when wet your choice. Thanks for video review very well done.👍🏻👍🏻
Love the effort and creativity!
Do you know the seat width and heights (both positions) for the Aquaglide seat? Their website shows it out of stock and has no spec sheet available> Thanks!
This is the most complete review I found on YT, thank you! I plan to get the Vibe Inflatable 100 pedal kayak with impulse drive with reverse. Hobie is nice but the fins system is a deal breaker for me
this was sweet..Awesome stuff.
same here. old hobie had metal teeth, when you rip the soft plastic teeth off they get you for $400 for a new spine. Hobie really screwing their customers.... Ive owned four... never again
Hi there! I am not sure I should attempt the same repairs as you. I go a barrel will 3 broken teeth, but it's the external ones (1 on a side 2 on the other). Do you think it worse a repair ? If not, should I tight the chain as you did ? Is it worsing unassemble everything to repair 3 teeths or I could just remove the chain ? And finally, what is the paste you have used ? Thanks :) Your repair looks dope.
Hey Mr. Fish Hunter…youre pretty good at that Ned rig fishin! 😂😂
Great video, thank you! Would you buy it again if you had to? or would you get something else?
I'd totally buy this again. Absolutely.
The drive you show at the end of the video isn't the same as the one at the beginning. The first drive with the broken teeth didn't have kick up fins, had a bent mast, tons of scratches on the fins and the whole drive was worn. The drive you demo at the end is a brand new 180 drive with kick up fins. I'm guessing your fix didn't even work but you still wanted to make a video out of it since you'd put in so much time.
ha. i think its fair to call it the same drive. On the day i recorded this I also recorded content for two other videos. In one i replaced the wire cable for the rudder system with dynema and in the other i replaced the fixed fins on the 180 drive spine with kickup fins (which i had to buy separately and which were new). Anyway, editing videos is a drag so i never finished those two videos. The repaired portion of the original 180 drive (the teeth) was/were maintained through all the upgrades and is working well to this day. Thanks for watching. LMK if ya have any other questions.
5:08 Hope you didn't get stabbed with the scissors! Crazy idea to get a haircut while driving :-O
was using clippers ;p
I’m really interested in the Hobie’s. I currently own an Outback. I live on an island and my one hesitations is oyster beds. As a river fisherman, you also have challenges of puncture. Obviously your yak survived a crash by a vegan ned fisherman. Nothing could be much worse. Just how careful would a non ned, meat eating fisherman need to be to guard against holes in the bottom?
ive used this hard for > year. Its pretty durable. It gets tiny pin hole punctures periodically. It has never has caused me to have to get out of the water. They patch easily. Its been dependable enough that I don't really ever worry about it being inflatable and it hasn't kept me form doing anything i want with it.
@@fishhunter1566 Thanks man. As much as I like them from watching vids like yours I might need to take a hard look at the Lynx. The oyster beds are like a pile of razors around here. Just looking to drop weight. I'm not hardcore as I once was.
Dose the teeth still intact?
yep. no issues at all since i repaired it. I used to worry about it when i went out. Doesn't even cross my mind anymore. Used it hard in fresh and salt water since this repair and no issues.
You’re sad
Did the job weld come off eventually? That stuff can’t stay on mine
still working well and ive used it hard in both fresh and salt water
Super helpful! Really enjoyed the low-key humor as well!
What frog patten lure was that in the beginning..
first was a stylized grasshopper and second was a stylized leopard frog, then a mouse. ua-cam.com/video/p9iHYinm8Qo/v-deo.html. Thanks for watching!
@@fishhunter1566Do you have a store front of any kind.
Ha! Naw, its just a hobby.@@WadeLife
Excellent…thanks for taking us along! High Noon
Man what an epic outing & a gorgeous spot! I'd think twice before wading a Creek like that w/all those Snakes!! I rarely watch a YT Vid all the way through anymore, this was an exception. Excellent Video man, well done! Glad you're back in the Fishing game.
Thanks for the kind words. Tight lines!
Nice board/kayak. I looked at these for a while. Hobie's comments that the glue seams holding it together are good for about 5 years, even just stored and not used, gave me pause. But, the Bote SUP company says it is easy to re-glue any seams that separate and they have a video on doing it. I got the Lynx instead which is pretty much just a hard board version of the iTrek9. I'm starting to think the iTrek9 would be the way to go after carrying the Lynx 10 times in the last three days. Can't beat the inflatable's 20-30lbs weight.
this board will not last forwever for sure. I patch it periodically. I do feel like most issues I have had with the board don't interfere with me using it and are easy to remedy. It is light and manageable. I Can fly with it easily. I can carry it to waters i couldnt take other boats. If they made a 9 foot (but wide) lynx, Id buy one and use them both in different settings. Thanks for your comments!
Going next week to fish for peacock and other species.. What canals did u fish / where? Appreciate the help.
Ive tried pretty much all the canals from griffin road down to homestead. I have more luck where there is structure and fewer people.
Is this repair still holding up well?
yep. no concerns. gets a lot of use. never think about it any more.
@@fishhunter1566 great! Thanks!
That repair is probably stronger than the original piece
Mate I had never heard of a Ned rig before, I fish saltwater estuaries I think Im going to give that a go, I recon it could would quite well :)
Where do you keep your extra lures?
i keep a small box of lures in the back of the seat and take three rods -- each with lures already on them.
A year later.. if you could go back, would you buy this or the iTrek 11?
Absolutely! I do a specific style of fishing and i also like to fly with it...it works very well for what i do with it.
i will fish ned rigs, only when they are eating it off the bottom as soon as it lands, can confirm I just piss in the boat i dont bother standing. Really cool seeing more SUP in the fishing scene. I heard of someone fishing the upper/west branch Delaware river with one. Really useful for the fly anglers I think. I wait to see the day someone mounts a trolling motor on one of these lol.
this part would be soo nice in stainless steel
This solution is awesome, but how long did that take you in real time?
not really's sure. maybe three hours? i let it sit overnight -- discontinuous time. it may seem like a bit of time, but i learned how the drive works, got to generate and implement a novel solution, learned some new skills, didn't have to buy a new one, and enjoyed working on the project...three hours of a good time! 🙂
@@fishhunter1566 I ended up using some tips from your video to rebuild the sprocket teeth. I found more damage as a result of some bearings that broke. JB weld to the rescue!
@@creaturekindofdid you use JB weld on the sprocket where it gets worn (bearing area)? Thinking about trying it just don’t know if it’ll stay put, don’t want the JB to let loose and mess thing up more.
How did you get a 360 drive?
its a 180. i bought a 180 spine and converted the stock drive.
Hobie has a plastic hook and bungee. The hook fits the vertical square post of the peddle. When attached ir post it will keep peddles fully extended and the fins flush to the bottom of the boat. The bungee end attached to a D-ring.
yes. I fashioned something like this myself. Having said that, it is now (compared to when I made this video) possible to buy a 180 kickup spine...I bought one and retrofitted y old fins and now i got the bungee and the kickup + 180!
I'm going to attempt the same thing to fix one tooth. What size screw did you get?
don't recall. I also couldn't tell by looking at the bag in the video. Looks like, from my scribblings though, that the teeth need to be 0.118" wide at the top and 0.24" tall from the base. That's the info i think i used to pick out some stainless screws when i did it.
@@fishhunter1566 Thanks for your help. I managed to repair the one broken tooth. I used #4 size stainless screw. I didn't do the manual shaping of the teeth like you did. Instead, I used wax and made mold of the teeth from the other non broken sprocket. Use the mold to pour the broken tooth. it came out good.
@@chengone2 that sounds clean! nice work!
Do you see the Itrek Duo being air travel capable? I am thinking the hull can go in one checked container and the rest of the equipment in another.
hard to say. Never seen it person. If I was asked to guess, Id say "probably, not." Its right on the edge with the Itrek 9,... I kinda think you would have trouble with the boat, two drives, and two chairs, even split across two bags, but maybe...Are there any videos of the DUO on youtube these days?
@@fishhunter1566 There are some videos of the duo on UA-cam, even one by Hobie on how to fold it. You are probably right if the duo is borderline making it. The duo's hull looks pretty fat when folded. But the hull in its own bag may make the weight limit at 45lbs.
@@truedox yeah i think you have to try it if no one else has...somehow it seems to grown over time? I travel with just the hull, chair, pedals and rudder (no pumps, no paddle) and it barely fits in the bag and weights 48-49 lbs..
That sunset…
Looks like fun 😄
Nice review. As for the “need to be moving to turn” complaint? Welcome to boats. That’s just physics. Until they install bow thrusters on small watercraft your only fix is small motor/autopilot system.
Thanks. i understand this about boats ;p it is mainly a comment relevant for those coming from a paddle kayak to a drive kayak with rudder.
When you stand up paddleboard, do you take out the pedals and put the black piece in place?
i do not. I have now installed kick up fins and also will push the pedal so the fins are in upright and flat position.
Good shootin partner
Cool. Yeah I have seen those there. Millions everywhere. Not many here in J ville.
Can you make any money off them ? And can you eat them ? Lol
The legs at least, are good to eat. However, critters in the city are subject to high levels of lead in the meat. I wouldn't even eat a city pigeon. Go to the country side where pests feed on grains ect. Take note if they eat crops recently sprayed with pesticides. (Hard to know for sure)
🤘🏻🍻❤️🇨🇦
cool video brother
Price?
not sure anymore really. but hobie thinks pretty highly of it for sure...
Loved this one! I need to get me one of these
I caught my PB on a Ned rig, to funny. I will be fishing micro Ned’s tomorrow in the north east in the rain 👍
I hope you crush it!
You’re a funny guy! Lol
Do you find the itrek more susceptible to wind when not in a river setting? Curious to know how you like it when fishing canals? I am still thinking about getting one for my local rivers/creeks.
I've had it in creeks, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. This is my 4th kayak. It handles the wind as well as any of my previous boats. In general, I feel most kayaks are notably effected by the wind. I have had this boat in the Atlantic in 25 m/h wind with resultant rollers. Handled it fine. Could still fish, but had to be sitting. Tight lines!
Welcome to the dark side of being a neg rig fisherman.
Nice Fish man! Is that an inflatable Hobie? How do you like it, would you recommend?
it is. check my review! ua-cam.com/video/PXIpzjS5IOc/v-deo.html
Great video! I’m sorry to say I’m a Ned Rig fisherman. Lol. Great information though
oh you'd love this then -- ua-cam.com/video/BHC9XYvFV-c/v-deo.html
