Standard drive is about $350.00
Not to mention rods and reals I have seen lost out there.
I have talked to divers who find loads of fishing gear at La Jolla. Talk about a gold mine.

Looks like I'm going snorkeling after work tomorrow. Got to get my stuff back and hopefully help out the other guy too.

Mirage drives are very easy to leash to your yak. Problem solved. I don't leave my drive in when landing on rocky beaches. I do some very rough Central Coast launches that would rip the crap out of a drive system. I made a drive mount on my Adventure by putting the main pin on the drive into the sail mount hole with the fins forward. I permanently attached 2 bungees with hooks (HOOK1) to strap the drive down. It looks like a factory drive mount.
