How can I repair this? What part number(s)? https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipNWu3xPv-SwF0IYLNY7OLXILKfuqgWw9r1ObNE You can see this drive has a history of failure. It first failed 6 months after the 1-year warranty expired. https://www.hobie.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=63785 |

You may want to correct the photo URL so we can see it. Peter |

MD180 (prior to Kick-Up Version) is far less forgiving when grounding fins, masts or the spine itself. You need a new spine. That one is the V1, so you need V2, booms, masts and new fins. 81499 V2 SPINE (with V2 Booms) 72067002 MD180 ST TURBO FIN KIT V2 (includes 2 Masts 2 Fins) 8020030 CLEVIS PIN (need 2) 81503100 RING (need 2) |

Would a used Mirage Drive GT work in my 2017? Part number 80010501. I can't afford to lay out $590.16 in new parts to repair this defective drive. |

Any drive will work. |

Yes, you could do that I suppose. Keep these two booms for possible use later. That way you would not need the masts or the fins yet either. We have not had any V1 parts for a couple of years, so if a mast or fin fails... you would need the V2 parts. |

Confirmed that, if you are unfortunate enough to own a 2017 Outback, when the MD180 drive explodes, you only need to buy a new spine (V2) and can re-use all other existing parts, including fins, masts and booms. I got back on the water today and it worked perfectly. |
