As weird as this may sound,after I have owned my 08 Outback for 9 months now,I just realized something. I cant get the mirage drive to fit into the front storage compartment. Is there some special way to get it to fit in there? I tried everyway I could this weekend and could not get it to fit. I have allways hand carried it so I never needed to try it until this weekend. You would think our good friends over at Hobie engineering would have worked this out. Maybe they have and I am too stupid to figure it out. Please enlighten me if you can or know how to make it fit. Thanks for reading. I love my Hobie btw. Great boat.
