Hi! I hope someone on here is more experienced with fixing the Hobie 18 and can help us out...
So, the situation is: our rear crossbar broke, we ordered and received a replacement but have trouble installing it.
We have two questions:
1) Does anyone know how to mount the rear interior casting? We have searched the web and simply cannot find instructions anywhere! Out question is: do you simply screw the inserted bar bolt into the interior casting, or is a nut on top needed? If a nut is needed - how do you screw this on within the crossbar?
2) Is it a problem that the rear crossbar curves significantly - thus putting quite a bit of distance between the crossbar and the hulls when we position it on top? I'll attach a photo (if I can figure out how!) to show what I mean and how much we are talking about. If it is a problem, how do we fix it?
I really hope someone can help us out, we are stuck ashore at the moment and longing to get back out in the water!
