Outfitter Manual (PDF)

Matt:

Is there a manual for the Outfitter available in PDF to download?? I purchased a demo from KFS and there isn't any documentation with it. Someone mentioned that it was the same or similar to the Adventure as far as instructions go but I don't see a manual for it either on the Support page. Getting one would make me

I have to get that from engineering...they don't work Fridays, so maybe by next week I can get that up.

Brad,

I don't think so. I got a page from Outback manual on adjusting pedals---it was so simple that I'm embarrassed to admit I couldn't figure it out while on the water. I'm having twist-n-stow rudder operation problems and I thought there might be some coverage on adjusting it. Also want to make sure I don't miss anything regarding proper maintenance of mirages and rudder assembly if there is something there for me to read.

Thx for offer though. I can always use search engine here or at KFS but would like to have the manual if I can get my hands on one.

The Hobie Mirage Kayak line has one version for all Mirage kayaks now. I have uploaded the latest version http://www.hobiecat.com/support/pdfs/Mirage_Kayak_Manual.pdf

Thanks for putting up the manual. I will find it useful for my Outfitter. However, I am interested in the Revolution but am confused about the quoted weight. 55lbs does not equal 22kg. Which is correct?
By the way, I, at last, got my Outfitter working solo ok on Sunday. I have found that the wife is not coming out with me as often as I wished so I am using it mostly solo. Being 230lbs it is very down at the rear, the bow is out of the water and it is effectively shorter than a Sport. Also, in the chop we normally have it tends to slap the water and is very wet for anyone in front. I found, on Sunday that, the addition of 90kg of water ballast in a tub at the front helps enormously when solo. However, I still hanker after an Adventure or Revolution so would be interested in just a bare hull if one becomes available in the uk.

Got it downloaded. Thx for prompt support.

I would go by the pounds... We convert specs from pounds and inches. Someone must have slipped up. I see 55 lbs as 24.95 kg

Latest brochure says the Revolution is 58 lbs hull / 22.3 kg (But my conversion says 26.3 kg)

Thanks Matt. I also made a mistake in my maths. The amount of ballast I carried in my Outfitter to balance it out going solo was 25kg (55lb not 93kg) carried as far forward as possible i.e. leaning in the bow.
