Great idea! I'll have to do the same..

That is a great idea. I am going to definitely be coping that.

Hey Tony,,,I too have had the main shaft slide out of position thus locking the drive to the kayak. Pain in the wazoo for sure. Learned to do minor tune ups on the drive , but think you have a novel idea carrying spare parts with you, just in case....

Wondering what you paid for the kit ?

Thanks......

Oh ok got it.

That mikey, pissing against the wind! I can't wait to see him again and bust him. Whats wrong with that boy!

I like to know when was the last time you replace any parts on the mirage drive? Also how many days you put on the mirage drive before any failure occur. Kinda want to gage the factor of repair before I start buying parts to keep in the kayak. Or if anyone can help with these answers. 1st time owning a hobie.

Good Job Tony! your Baja video was really good stuff. I would also replace both sprockets and shaft on your drive.

I noticed there is no space between the top of your sprockets and the bottom of the spline.

Notice how much space there is between the spline and sprockets in the picture below. Your sprockets are really worn-out. I would not tighten the chains any more.

Good observation, it looks like there is no space inbetween but its just the angle of the picture, there's space. But in any case your right, i havent replaced them yet and i should...i replaced just about everything else except the spine...
