| Post subject: | How Do I support the TI Amas on my trailer |
I have a boat trailer that I can modify with the PVC bunks that I see here on site for my new 2015 TI. But how do I support the Amas when traveling down the highway at road speeds? I've tried bungie them together over the hull and saw a lot of movement. Currently bolted a piece of 2x4 to the tongue and trailer frame that supports them. The current bunks are carpet covered wood which I'll replace with the 11/2" PVC but the Amas worry me. Thanks for all of your suggestions as I love the boat don't want to waste a lot of time on trailer mods when I could be on the water. But I do understand it is a necessary part of the learning curve. Thank you one and all. Are the Hobie cradle sets the answer?? |

Thank you, is there a new part number for the 2015 cradles because of the speed drain?? Also, the recommended spacing (bow to support, in between supports, stern support to rudder?? Thank you as I do not want to harm the boat in anyway while trailering and storing and this is my first Hobie. |

Current stock is compatible with the speed drain. Minimum 67" apart to about one third the over all length (74") would evenly support the hull. Plus a bow support would be a good idea. |

You will need something to support that pvc every few feet and the amas can rest on that with some padding. A lot of folks put something like a yoga mat between the hull and amas than strap them together to prevent chafing. Austin Kayaks's house brand straps work very well for this. Chris |
