So I have a Hobie Outback and the left click and go will not fully lock. The plastic on the kayak doest not like the lever on the click and go fully lock. When compared with the right one, the left lock is significantly smaller because the plastic can not come back all the way if that makes any sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Are you saying the handle on the lever is hitting the hull preventing full closure?

If so i think the fix for this is shims under the mechanism to raise it, and/or shaving a bit of plastic off the lever to give more clearance. If that doesn't fix it then it may be a hull molding issue.

Best take to a hobie dealer if its still under warranty

Has it always done this?

I just got the kayak from a neighbor for very cheap because he never used it so i do not know if it always did that. But yes the hull is preventing the click n go to fully lock. I think i will take it to a dealer.

And maybe the hull is warped due to the way it has been stored, causing the issue??
