Post subject: | A-Frame support stud pulled out of base |
I am at Camp Hi-Sierra in California where one of the Hobie Bravos is down with a broken A-Frame. Jeremy (Surf City) has the A-Frame on Order to direct ship to camp here. The problem is during the wind storm that the front A-Frame support pulled out of the boat and broke out part of the anchor nut from the boat. I could glue part of it but I dont think it would be strong enough to hold. Any suggestions? Is there a plate that could reinforce the base of this or an alternative? I am thinking of taking a rudder connector and longer bolt and then drilling sideways and bolting through the A-Frame support base Matt - has there been any problems with the front support pulling the base support "plug" out of the boat and is there anyone who has a way to repair this? This puts one boat down for the youth for the boy scout program so I am trying to get this back into service ASAP. Thanks for your help - Dwight |

There is a repair kit that through-bolts into the hull. I've got one here at the shop. |

As Jeremy noted... there is a kit that allows a fix for a pulled insert or broken off bolt. We have not had this issue for many years as we moved to larger fasteners a long time ago... but still have this kit. |
