I upgraded my 2013 PA-14, ST Turbo Mirage drive last January and these are the individual part numbers needed to convert it to the GT drive. 1 each idler pulley-GT with bearings P/N 81123001 @ $7.00 2 each sprockets GT with bearings P/N 81127001 @ $22.00 each 2 each drum-GT with bearings P/N 81175001 @ $40.00 each And lastly, since the drums did not have the pedal adjustment decals installed as I expected, I ordered after the fact; 2 each decals, pedal adjustment P/N 81172001 @ $0.70 each. The total is $132.40 list price and I can confirm, it's worth the $$, time and effort to make the GT conversion Here is the link to make the upgrade http://static.hobiecat.com/item_attachm ... 01z117.pdf Although it does not show greasing the bearings, I used Evinrude Johnson Triple-Guard Grease..it's blue, totally waterproof and won't wash out in use.....the stuff is really sticky and you don't need much grease to do the job. Make sure you use a small amount of "Blue Loctite" on the turbo fin threaded shafts prior to screwing back into the new sprocket inserts. Good luck! |

Thank you Dr.SteelheadCatcher. I'm heading to east Baja for the month of September. The extra parts can be spares. |

How many of each part did you order? The math doesn't add up in total do I need ? 2 idler pulley-GT with bearings P/N 81123001 @ $7.00 4 sprockets GT with bearings P/N 81127001 @ $22.00 each 4 drum-GT with bearings P/N 81175001 @ $40.00 each Thanks and sorry for my confusion |

You only need 1 idler pulley....it's the "round one up front" ...unless you have 2 Mirage drives to up date....I thought you were doing just a single drive, but adding in spares, double the quantity in my previous reply. Don't forget the "decals" too. So, to upgrade 1 Mirage drive, the list price for all the items is $132.40 or $264.80 for 2 drives/spares. Your Hobie Dealer can easily reconfirm these P/N's and cost. Hope you have a good/safe time in Baja. |

I easily picked up speed without actually peddling harder. I find I need to purposely slow down my cadence from time to time to bring my speed down. |
