Tuning Hobie Turbo Fins - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

-scallywag- · 12-28-2010, 04:07 PM

There is a pretty good post/test on the hobie forum....I think it was done by a local member "roadrunner". Also lots of good info on lubing/adjusting your drives too.

It seems like the conclusion was that although running the fins "tight" makes the fins harder to push, it did not increase the top speed.

After messing around with the settings alot, I decided I like to run mine pretty loose.....alot less peddle pressure with no loss in speed.
