T-Handle doesn’t fit

Matt...I lost the original paddle that came with my 2019 PA12. I bought a replacement from my dealer and then ordered A T-Handle (74049001) The handle will not go into the female end of the replacement paddle. I tried putting a little soap on it but I can’t get it inserted. Did the size of the paddles change?

There are two... the paddle changed.

Thanks for the quick reply

The 74048 T-Handle Paddle-2019+ does not fit properly in the paddle to my 2020 inflatable Mirage i11s....it'll slide into the paddle shaft just fine once the paddle end is removed, however, the "button" does not line up with the hole in the paddle shaft to secure it in place....based on your web site photo's of the 74048 & 74049001 T-Handle's they look of similar design, dimensions and placement of the "buttons"?

Purchased the Mirage i11s from the Gig Harbor Fly Shop this summer (they did not have the correct T-Handle in stock) and then I ordered the T-handle on-line from Paths, Peaks & Paddles.

Look forward to the the Hobie factory expertise & assistance to secure the correct T-handle to utilize the i11s in SUP mode.

Thanks
