| Post subject: | new tramp |
i noticed that on my main tramp that the seam just in back of the center grommets is splitting...is there a patch or do i have to get a whole new tramp? i i have to get a new one, is there anything cheaper than the ones on the Hobie site ($465) |

You may be able to get decent patch sewn on the tramp to extend it's life for a while. While there are cheaper tramps than the Hobie brand, I tend to discourage people from buying them as they do not last anywhere near as long or through any comperable abuse. I have had two Hobies that were over 20 years old when I bought them. They both had original tramps and they were both in great shape. I replace my H18 tramp this season and it was 24 years old. Also, if you plan on racing you will need a Hobie tramp to be class legal. |

Take the tramp to a sail loft or possibly an upholstery shop. They can sewn a patch. If the heat weld seam is letting go, contact a dealer and request a warranty replacement. On an old tramp (out of warranty) we can get a highly discounted one for you if a defect is present. |

Sounds like some one might have laced the tramp to tight. I've laced a friends tramp with bungee cord. It seems to help distribute the load more evenly when pressure if applied near a gromet putting the load on several rather than just one gromet. Perhaps that might help your tramp out. Falling onto a bungeed tramp is more fun as well.

I have the same problem with my tramp. Is it possible mine is too tight too. I did not use any tools and just tightened it by hand. How tight is too tight? --Doug |

If the tramp material (that is doubled over at the grommets) is seperating, the weld is bad. We can replace those if within warranty or offer an adjusted cost if older. |

I would offer a 20% discount on a new trampoline for a boat that is 5-6 years old. |

thanks matt, i'll compare that cost to what a sailmaker would charge me to patch it....my jib also tore, so that might be the next big purchase.. |
