Hello all

what is the best way to drain the hulls on a hobie considering the weight and not wanting to snap the rudders off. I want it to be completely dry for the winter. We have to worry about that in Minnesota. THANKS

Ure gonna have to remove the rudders and tilt it back holding it with a "Y" shaped 2x4 or similar at the front crossmember. And rest the transoms on milf crates so that sand doesnt get in thru the drains. Or install access deck plates only if there is an internal repair to be made.

Best to just tilt!
