Hobie Cat Forums

A new steering "drum" is available. We informed registered owners, dealers and forums when this became available. This is a free upgrade.

Pro Angler steering is more sensitive than some users desire. Hobie Cat has designed this new steering drum to reduce this sensitivity. This change reduces the motion of the rudder in relation to handle movement. Turning sharply is reduced, but steering in a straight line is easier.

Here is a quick video on the installation:
