On my new Revo's first voyage I decided to do some rudder up paddling. Pulled "Up" the stow-n-go rudder handle then let it go. Pop the red "Up" sticker went! Right over into the deep blue! Talked to my dealer who provided me with replacement stickers. Was told that these things pop off all the time. I thought back to the previous 3 rental Hobies I used and all had a least one sticker missing if not both! So...whats the deal with these stickers?! Can't we get some that will stay on? Does anyone else have this problem with their stow-n-go? |

It is a difficult issue. You have to remove it to replace lines, so "permanant" won't work either. Once you know which does what... you don't neeed them. I believe they have gotten better since this system came out though. |

I've removed mine and "glued" them to the gunnel above the pulls as they kept falling off. |

Why not make the handles different colors? |

We considered the idea, but you would still have to tell people what the colors mean. |

There are only two handles...... How about one up, the other down? |

I never even thought of that ... thanks for that tip   I thought it was just Port & Starbord colors  Port red (just like the drink Port) and starboard green. Red is called the Port side because port wine is red. (Trivia for the day ... "Port" was originally called "LARBORD" ...as opposed to the other side "Starbord") "UNITED STATES NAVY DEPARTMENT, Washington, February 18, 1846 It having been represented to the Department, that confusion arises from the use of the words "Larboard" and "Starboard," in consequence of the similiarity of sound, the word "Port" is hereafter to be substituted for "Larboard." GEORGE BANCROFT." Source; -DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY -- NAVAL HISTORICAL CENTER 805 KIDDER BREESE SE -- WASHINGTON NAVY YARD WASHINGTON DC 20374-5060 ---------------- I totally never thought of stop and go ... I just thought it neat that they color coordinated with the rest of my red green ropes, carobiners etc on the correct sides ... (On my last kayak, I had red/green reflective tape on the correct sides on the bow too, but I went with yellow school bus tape on my Papaya Outback) |
