Post subject:  Mirage drive full of sand

Looking for help...!!!
New to hobie kayaks and last weekend when I was landing on sandy beach I forgot to take drive out and is full off sand now.
I flush it properly with fresh water but it still gritting and not moving very easy as it was before!
So should I take it a part completely? (is it easy enough)?
And flush it again or what are your recommendations?
What grease should I use and on what parts?
Thanks for any tips and ideas

I had the same problem. Took the Outhaul Block covers off and that's where most of the sand was. Really easy to take off without disassembling anything else. Then I hosed everything down real well and liberally sprayed all moving parts with CRC 6-56.
