My local Hobie dealer only carries kayak parts. Where are you guys buying parts online? I did a quick search and only found a handful of places. Can I buy directly from Hobie? Thanks in advance. |

We do not sell direct to consumers, so our dealer finder will get you the closest dealer that carries parts for the product you have. You need to select product type... http://www.hobiecat.com/dealers/ |

You need to select product type... http://www.hobiecat.com/dealers/ That's unfortunate. So far eBay has been the easiest to find parts. I have 96 with the old style rudder and H-14 mast base. I had to order the H-14 mast step link on eBay. Matt is there a cross-reference chart for the wave available? I know there is a parts diagram but I think my parts are carried over from the older Hobies. For instance my tiller arm has no pivot joint or tendon. It's just a rubberized 90 degree connection. How can I tell which parts to order? |

A dealer should be able to help you figure that out. Sounds like a very old model with Hobie 14 style mast base? The 90 bed elbow is no longer available. The part guides show you "update" parts needed for that version. |

The part guides show you "update" parts needed for that version. Yes mine is a '96 model, very old. I see the updated parts but my concern is if my crossbar is long enough to use this conversion. I have the older aluminum cast rudder/tiller arms. What should be the length of the cross bar be if I update to the 2007 tiller joints? Thanks |

The conversion gets you a new crossbar. 1954 You can bend your tiller arms inward and simply get the 1957 connector kit. That is what I would do. |

I have had excellent service from Mariner Sails for several years. They are in the Dallas, TX area but they ship anywhere. You can order direct from their Web site (http://shop.mariner-sails.com/Hobie-Cats_c24.htm) and they have been extremely helpful over the phone when I have needed assistance for both my Getaway and my Wave. I live in central Florida and would have to have parts shipped to me anyway (the closest dealer is too far to drive for a parts run) so I like to simply order from their Web site. |

Thanks JT, I am in Orlando. Looks like we'll be ordering parts from the same place. You would think being surrounded by water it would be easier to find parts! Hahaha. |

Thank you Matt. I have seen those but unfortunately they are too far for a simple parts run. It is easier to order online. The closest Hobie dealer to me only knows kayaks and had no idea what a Wave was. |

Try Andy at TackleShack in St. Pete 727-546-5080 He has more years on cats, dinghys, and kayaks than nearly anyone on the planet. Find me another place that has a Getaway, a Wave, and a T2 on display in the parking lot. Bring lunch and your flameproof vest as he'll bend your ear with great stories, strong opinions, and an X rated vocabulary. Great fun! And he has EVERYTHING in stock. No kidding. |
