Thanks for the info Tony

I ordered a set in November paid in full. Still waiting for them from my local dealer. I wish I would have gotten them from Andy. As I am now being told it may be April before I get them. At least that is what they are telling me. And that's supposed to be what Hobie is telling them. I cant believe it has taken so long.

Right now I only have sprockets and idler pulleys, drums are back ordered. I have had 2 small orders filled, so surprised you are still waiting from November. I am still waiting for a couple complete GT drives that I ordered in September. I have been selling the ones that have come with the kayaks, as I always have at least 20 or more Hobies in stock, so not like I will not have a drive to give with a sold kayak.

Cost of the upgrade:

$39.99 Drums X 2
$21.99 sprockets X 2
$6.99 idler pulley
if you replace the chains another $39.99 X 2

6 knots on the PA, dam I'm sold on the upgrade.

Looks like I do have 1 complete rebuild 2 drums and plenty of sprockets and idler pulleys.

Do you have the GT drums in stock yet.
My current ST drive is getting real sloppy so it's time to upgrade.
Is it necessary to replace the main shaft also

Also, in a pinch if a sprocket breaks OTW. Is it possible to use the older ST sprocket as a replacement on the side that broke to get back to shore or do I need the GT sprocket in my repair kit.

[Iceman]

Yes, I now have GT: drums, sprockets, and idler pulleys I see no reason to change the shaft. Yes you could swap out an old sprocket if needed.

Iv'e used the new mirage drive for about 2 months now...and it's still amazing!

Hey Tony,
With the new drive are the turbo fins really necessary now?
