Hobie Kayak

Finally, a fix for Hobie Mirage MD180 drive bearing failures. With a problem, comes solutions. After going through several rear bearing failures, I had enough. There has to be a better way than spending another $300+ for a spine that you know it will happen again.

If your drive is worn or you just don’t want to have an issue, I have a solution. Not just one but two. Depending on how far gone your spine is there are two options to choose from.
Introductory Price - Get It while you can.
This is a simple to install, drop-in solution. 
You will receive;
1 - Rear Cup1 - Shaft insert1 - Ceramic Roller Bearing
INSTALLATION:STEP 1: Loosen chain, Remove Cup, Washer and Rollers. Clean area.STEP 2: You will install the pin into the hole of the spine gear. STEP 3: Put on supplied bearing.STEP 4: Install Cup.STEP 5: Reinstall Chain and set to manufactures specifications. 
Recommended service - Allow drive to dry and apply WD40 to bearing. This will help remove residual water build up. Remove and check for any residual build up. This will vary by case by case. 
Works With PA12, PA14, Outback or any kayak that utilizes the MD180 drive. 
*Bearing will go bad eventually. There is no guarantee on how long because we all experience different environmental factors.
