It looks like those existing holes should line up. Once I get around to installing one I'll confirm.

Will it fit an Oasis, I keep looking at the pictures and looks like it might.

If the answer is "yes", will Mission Bay be able to install?

Got mine in the mail yesturday and the holes do not line up on mine at least. I have an 2010 model and the bunngie and tiedown plug lands right on the trim ring. I would have to cut the backing ring or cut out the molded in threads for it to work. I am going to try and lay the whole thing out tonight and see if it will work or not before i start cutting and let you guys know how is turns out. Also the lip on the backside of the round hatch with be cut out as the whole thing is bigger.

Looks great, thanks for taking the plunge and sharing! It looks like the edges of the bungie and tiedown plug are still slightly exposed? After your fine tuning, would you share a couple more close up pics of the side? Also, how do you like it? Is it sturdy?

Andy, do you think this would work with the Hobie Adventure Island?

Can someone say bait tank?





With just a little more tinkering I see someone putting in a bait tank right there. Kind of like the "kaya tank"


Wouldnt it be great if Hobie made a factory tank option to put right there? Imagine all the room behind you without that big tank?


2013 Hobie product of the year award!

Looks good but it also looks like it could be a major pita to open while seated.
