Mirage Drive Dosent Fit...? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sorry, kind of having a hard time understanding what youre trying to say.

I got it in yesterday. The sides that stick out the furthest are really tight fit in the drive well, im thinking of shaving it down a little, but worried it may compromise the drive under pressure. What I did instead was loosen the bolts that hold the knobs in so that I could raise them up and then I could turn it to hold the drive in place. These were nearly stripped, but luckily I had a new set, but it was a pain getting the old ones out.

It is secure and it clicks in fine, but its a pain getting my finger in there to lift up the knob to get it to work. I may end up shaving the bottom of it so it has a steeper angle and I can turn it and itll lift it self up and over.

Any thoughts?

Matt always gets back to you quickly.

What year was your adventure and what year is the sport? I'm guessing V1 / V2 has something to do with it.
