sadly it was leashed. My drive was acting a little funny, so i took it out to take a peek. Put the drive on hatch so I could grab something out of my box behind seat. Weird angle wind/boat wake knocked drive off hatch and when leash tighetend the f'ing knot gave way, off she went. by the time i secured a couple of things to dive in, she was gone. F%&K!!!

possibilities
1. get lucky and find your drive at low tide if lost at launch.
2. someone sells you a 180 that was lost or stolen. 3. most realistic scenario is that you have to fork out some serious dough to a dealer. 20$ seems like a lot for an oem Hobie leash, but a small price to pay in retrospect to todays prices for a drive. I remove quick release plastic buckle and secure lease directly to drive. do not remove when over water. I recently had to replace my 180 drive when I had a break-in of garage during Christmas. Andy hooked me up. |
