Hobie PA Front Hatch Bungee Mod

[@Mister2You]

Yep, I saw a PA like that, and I've gotten hooks stuck in the other bungie set-up. I'm doing this. Thanks for the video.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

No problem thanks for watching

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Love the idea so much better

[@thesaltyyak4257]

Thanks for the video!!!! I was wondering how to do this!

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

No problem

[@lawerancelanham]

I had a generic spanner wrench from AutoZone or something. Saved $10... they're not really in too tight you can't manage, unless you just want a Hobie tool.
Much nicer than having 2 straps, holds the lid more snug I think.

Great job I will keep the original at first; but I am pretty sure I will modify.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Nice job.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Thanks

Nice job.
How good is the seal?
I still get water in the tub with both seal installed.
When wake or waves come over the hatch it always enter in between the hatch which creates pressure.
Literally needs a cover over the water channel and front hindged bungee cords.
Still waiting for better design from hobie.

Fine for lakers, wouldn't recommend for anyone going through surf.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

True

[@jerry-381]

Awesome! Did you notice any change in the amount of water getting into the hull after doing this?

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Still too cold in VA for me I haven't taken out out yet. Soon though...Soon.

@@BlueSummitOutdoors yeah I realized that may be the case after I saw the date in the video. Subscribed now so I won't miss em in the future.

[@BlueSummitOutdoors]

Thanks I'll be sure to let you know if I come across any issues with it.

@@BlueSummitOutdoors Thanks my 2016 now has black marks where the bungees lay across the hatch. When I add the deck mat I don't want this to happen to the deck mat.
