I'm sure the Hobie sail works better, but the Windpaddle sail is very convenient as far as it's portability. It collapses down to 15", and the outer ring is comprised of either fiberglass or spring...

It depends on the size of the resistors (actual size, not ohms rating). I used large 500 ohm resistors. But, just to be sure I'll run a load on it. I have a infrared Lazer gun. I'll shoot the temp at...

voltage stepper

ALL DAY!
Brother, It will run your FF/GPS all day long. It will also run your bait pump at the same time, ALL DAY LONG! If you're fishing from a Hobie, then you're probably running the bait tank on the 6 volt...

Correction
I just watched a video on the new (new at the time) 2013 Hobie Pro Angler. Looks like the dual rudder controls, storage management system, and upgraded vantage seat are indicators of the new model. I...

Not sure
I bought it used in 2015, so I'm not sure what year it is. Is there a distinguishing feature between the 2012 and the 2013 model that would help determine? I'm thinking it's a 2012, so the upgrade...

Correction

Battery (I know this is old)
So here's my $.02 on this. I poise a question. Why would Hobie use a 500 gph bait pump designed to run with 12 VDC, and run it off of a 6 volt battery? I already know the answer, and I'm not really...
