Team, Was in my Pro angler this weekend and the back of the mirage drive kept popping out of the hole. The clamps were locked. It was like the drive was rotating in the clamps and the very back kept popping up. This ended up ripping the back fin off. |

That sounds like the bolts that hold the clamps down have come loose, or there are problems underneath allowing too much flex. Any cracks or leaks at the drive well? Peter |

You are likely mounting it tipped forward. https://www.hobie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=12836 |

As shown in the link above, changing the way you hold the drive can really help. ![]() |
