| Post subject: | Mirage drive plug question |
I've got a Passport 10.5. The plug is shorter on one end, than the other. No matter which direction I put it in, it doesn't seem quite right. I was just looking at the Hobie part guide for the Passport, and in the diagrams, the plug is shown symmetric in height. So my question is, did I get the wrong plug when I bought my kayak? Or is it just a generic placeholder plug in the parts diagram and I do have the right plug? |

Yes it tapers - that is the correct plug. The illustration in the parts guide is generic. The well on the passports is a molded unit that is different to our other kayaks - it has the same unit used in the Eclipse 81538 CASSETTE PLUG, ECLIPSE/PASSPORT z249.jpg)

So, which way is it supposed to go? Not really that important, just curious. |

I'd be interested in an answer from Hobie as well. Jacques, Matt? Also, will all of the Hobie drive plugs/cassette fit the Passport 10.5? Thanks in advance! |

I would imagine the taller end forward, but I don't have a boat (at home) to see. The primary purpose of the plugs is to prevent your foot/leg from going though the well. Not to make the cockpit floor flush. It also reduces water gushing up when paddling. |
