Is there a way to tighten the clutch on the xr
I believe it is similar to how we adjusted the clutch on the old 360’s with the machine screw in the drive well.
Great video. Just sent you guys an email about my 360. Heading back to California in two weeks. Will be in your shop in May, looking forward to checking you guys out. Thanks again for this video… now I get how that thing works!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent explanation! I had belt issues with my 2023 Hobie Pro Angler 14 360, and these changes "forced" me to buy a 2024 XR because the system is so much easier to deal with belt issues (which I'm hoping I don't experience!). QUESTION: What's the best way to adjust a locked 360 drive on the 2023 (previous) PA 14 360? IF I heard you correctly, reaching underneath while the Hobie is still in the water will allow someone to twist the drive to forward? Is that accurate? Or what should someone do? I'm selling my 2023 to my fishing buddy so want to let him know how to deal with that situation if necessary. Thanks for the awesome info! Keep 'em coming! And best of luck to you and your shop for 2024.
You are correct. The best way to straighten a locked 360 in the previous years is to have the boat in the water or on a stand and reach underneath and manually rotate it straight. Then you can remove the drive and hopefully fix the issue. Thanks for watching!
@@WindToys Thanks! I wish I had known that years ago! I had belt issues on my PA 12 and then PA 14.With the PA 12 I couldn't get the drive out so put it on my Dymanic Dolly since I couldn't slide the Hobie into the back of my truck with the drive sticking down. BUT at 70 I'm no longer strong enough to horse that into the truck. Thankfully a guy who worked for the town I was in happened by, stopped, and asked if I needed help. He was able to load the kayak in so I could haul it to my dealer. I'll pass this wisdom on to my fishing buddy (he's buying my 2023 Hobie PA 14).
Excellent video, best explanation of the 360 drive belt an clutch system yet.
I agree! I just received my new PA 14 360 XR and I'm happy to better understand the new and improved features!
Great to see some sit ins from hobie!!
So what you’re saying is instead of actually fixing these issues they have with the hulls and drives they just put bandaids on them. Good to know thanks for the info. Do they charge extra now for the bandaids?
I think the drive well is significantly stronger on the XR, so any concerns there I believe have been fixed. As far as the belt goes, no matter how much R & D Hobie does truthfully only time will tell whether these changes will bring down belt failures. I like when a manufacturer addresses a weakness and try’s to fix it and i think the changes they made this year are an improvement over previous models. Thanks for watching.
