The charger. It actually blew the cord that connects to the battery off the charger and melted the end of the AC to DC converter.

Besides the faulty charger....
I heard that Hobie is also replacing the piece of garbage plastic switch that comes on the New $289.00 Bait Tank. (((Sheesh)))

-Maybe they better try another Provence of China for their outsourcing. Thats strike 4 on their bait tank.
Clogging inlet, junk switch, battery screw up, and now flaming charger.

Don't worry - everything should be here in a couple of months.

Just because they make a good kayak doesn't mean they make a good bait tank. The 5 gallon bucket does a better job and doesn't clog- and runs perfectly in the kelp.
-Lets see a hobie tank do that.
