Post subject: | Leaks in the REVO |
Went hoopin for Lobsters for the first time to weeks ago and developed a serious leak. I was pump out @ 1" of water every 30 min from inside the hull. The next day after skunkin out I brought the REVO back to XTREAMLINE Sports in San Pedro. Greg water tested it and found a double leak !!! The plastic had cracked under the cams that lock in the mirage drive. Basically it started from the threads that hold the 3-4 in stainless steel bolts that hold the cams down. Unfortunately most of Hobie's staff was off on work in Fiji, must be nice Needless to say Hobie sent a replacement REVO, it took 2 weeks, although the Hobie HQ is only like 60-90 minutes away. I think that my delivery was based on their delivery schedule to the Los Angeles area. I think it was totally appropriate. Will be doing sea trials with some fishing monday morning. Thanks HOBIE and XTREAMLINE , you guys rock !!!!!!! MikeG |

Unfortunately not really The black plastic cams covered it. We actually had to do an inverted water test to find it |
