I love my Hobi compass. I r7n my J2 PP-768 Bixpy, the 180 drive, k8ck up fins. Allot of Hibie PA accessories I've added. Especially the gear track rails and antew other electronics. Fir myself at 5ft 7 156 lbs, i can sight fush, stand and fish, and just started my earning fly fishing for tarpon, snook, and other finesse baits. 🛶 🎣 💯
Matt - There's a couple options depending on what version MD 180 you have. Hobie initially released a V1 MD 180 and shortly after we introduced a V2 MD 180. If you need to convert a V1 drive to V2 Turbos, use part number 81501112 MD 180 V1 to V2 BOOM-MAST-TURBO FIN KIT. If you've got the V2 MD 180 (notated by a molded "V2" at the top of the fin), use part number 72067002 ST-TURBO V2 FIN KIT If you still have questions, please reach out to your local dealer.

Given all the issues with the seat, when is Hobie releasing the seat upgrade video?

Exactly how much longer are the turbo fins than the standard fins.
21/2”
I was looking for draft of compass before and after the fins? Looks like he does not reply back. Wheel seee
Will it be the same procedure for the 180 mirage drive.
Same basics apply, yes...detailed instructions accompany each kit and if you have any questions, your local dealer should have you covered.
Hey homeboy what size are the split rings that lock the fins on?
Here's the split ring we use on the drives. You can order through your local dealer:
Hobie PN: 81503100
SPLIT RING 3/8" 304 SS
So 1900 for the yak then all the upgrades you might as well buy a outback
MrNum1phoneman hell. May as well get a pa12 if the weight isn't too much of an issue
Peace
I want to own and buy one. How is that, my country, Algeria?
Is this going to be the same on a 2017 mirage drive 180

I hear the 180 drive will not function properly with kayak. Can anyone advise?
The Mirage Drive 180 can be used with the Compass without any issues. Drops in just like the GT drive; does not require any modifications.
Great so issues with reverse. I’m going to put in my order today!
I was sold on this kayak and then the salesman told me there was no reverse. It's 2018. Come on
Just upgrade the drive to a 180. Easy
