Post subject:  Help with PA Rudder BOA Tensioner Part Replacement
Hello Hobie boards!
Long time viewer first time poster, and I need some assistance.
I purchased a secondhand PA17 (upgrading from an Oasis), and while going through the boat, the rudder tensioning BOA knob snapped.
I've attached a couple pictures- it may be hard to tell, but the knob itself is cracked in the geared/center portion and can no longer be clicked back in. As such, I can't get any rudder tension!

I've been looking all over on where to get the replacement knob. From what I can find looking at pictures, it looks like it is BOA's "H3" system but I can't even find replacements knowing that. Iv'e also reached out to BOA, but they've been unresponsive.

Any suggestions on what I can do? Thank you!

In 2014 Hobie came out with the rudder BOA for the PA-14 and I wanted to upgrade my 2013 PA-14 with the BOA, so I purchased a retrofit kit and the BOA P/N was 84507881, rudder tension replacement.
That's the complete BOA assembly.

I can't imagine that Hobie used a special BOA for the PA-17, but if you start with this part number above, I am sure Hobie can tell you if it's common across the whole PA family.
Good Luck!

By the way, if you were unaware of the BOA release, you pull out the knob to release the tension.
