Hobie MirageDrive
Drive Installation
1. The Hobie MirageDrive® must be
lowered into the opening of the hull
near the footwells so it is facing forward
and evenly front to back. The front of
the MirageDrive can be determined by
the location of the fin masts. Tipping
the drive forward or aft when lowering
can cause it to wedge into the well and
possibly cause damage to the hull and/
or fins. The MirageDrive alignmenet pin
helps prevent this, so make sure that it
properly seats in the groove.

Pedal Adjustment
The pedals of the Hobie MirageDrive are adjustable to
accommodate different leg lengths of kayakers. 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. Similar
to 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. Hobie Cat
® recommends new
users have the pedal length adjustment set in the middle
(number 4) to help while installing it into the hull correctly.
Once installed you can select your preferred length setting.

2. To lock the MirageDrive into the hull, lower it into the hull
so that the drum shaft posts drop down into the Click and Go
cams and lock into place.
3. To remove the MirageDrive, flip the
Click and 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.
