Hobie V2 Fins Service??

[sdfishman]

How often and what need to be serviced? I can feel there is some play when you peddle.. They can move side to side making a knocking noise if you peddle hard.. ANy idea?

AS needed, check em once a month or so.

multi strand cable stretches, just need to evenly tighten the nylocks on each side of the 2 chains and idler cable. squeezing the front cables, about 1/8 inch of play, rear 1/4 inch play. Over tightening can cause em to snap at the worst time.......with a full speed foamer just out of casting range! :D

good source for reference, some stuff refers to older V1, like set screw for the mast and new drums are reinforced with stainless rings so the adjustment holes won't "chew" out

Stopped off at fastline today on my way out. They said everything looked good. Its is the drum that has a little play. Nothing to worry about
