THANKYOU!! I honestly have been waiting for a Post just like this. I never really knew what I was doing with the adjustment screw on the Turbofins. Time for a tune and lube session. |

Roadrunner, thanks for the tips. Lots of good stuff there. I was never clear on the Turbo clew settings. Speaking of seat cushions, the first time I took my 2006 Adventure out, I experienced more butt discomfort than all previous kayaks put together. Solved it with a piece of closed cell foam cut to match the Hobie bottom. 100% improvement for just a few bucks. CC foam can be found at most paddling shops and even some craft stores. |

Thanks for the post RR! I can't believe I've had it adjusted wrong this whole time.. |

The clew setup is worth the price of admission alone! I have wondered whether I was set up correctly or not. Thankfully my fins have always seemed to have plenty of "bite". I checked them and see that they are set up exactly as in your recommended position. Cheers. |

Very helpful post. Forgive my nitpicking but the fins in the pic look like ST (square tips) fins to me. Don't the Turbos have a tappered fin? |

ST Turbos (left) and STs (middle) can be easily confused when you don't see them side by side. |

Thanks again Dan Thanks for reviving this thread Dan otherwise I may not have found out how off my setting was . I had always kept the brass nut to the tightest setting mistakenly thinking (eroneously)that the mast's would be more likely to fall out or fail as open as Roadrunner display's it . Glad I found out otherwise. Now to try it set properly. |
