I came across a YouTube video “Hobie i11s Rudder Upgrade” showing an i11s upgraded to the newer trek style rudder system. Can anyone refer me to info on how to obtain the necessary parts / kit. I would dearly love to make this improvement to my 2020 version.

Regards, Craig

Excellent upgrade:

Improved manuverability on water
Easier, more reliable rudder up / down
Removing from boat for transport makes boat easier for me to transport and shaves a few pounds off for loading / unloading

I found the original rudder system quirky and temperamental

Highly recommend

I broke the steering mount that came with the Hobie i Series to i-Trek Steering Kit, Item #79052437

Does this item have a part number ?

Thanks for any help

Regards, Cthorsman

Cthorsman, did you ever find the part number for the steering handle attachment bracket? I broke mine, too.

I am sure a part number does exist for the stand alone steering handle, but currently Hobie does not show it in the parts breakdown in the link below.

Suggest calling Hobie directly and speak to a customer service person for help.

This is the steering mount. If the kit is under a year old, you can file a warranty claim for a replacement at no charge. You'll need both part numbers to complete the assembly.
