Happened across a Facebook Hobie Compass User Group post about how Hobie Lynx seat risers might work on the 2022 Compass. They are sold by Navarre Kayak and Fishing. $70. Anyone tried them yet? Thanks |

I just emailed Navarre. I’ll let you know his response. |

I contacted the owner at Navarre and here’s his response: The seat is plenty strong enough but the inserts are mounted into the plastic. As you raise the seat the angle changes a bit and causes issues. This video shows how weak the area is: https://youtu.be/H-Do8JpMg7I Starts at 6 minute mark. |

I would not put all my weight on just 2 small points. There is a reason the Lynx seat has that bar on the front as it spreads the load out. Some of the facebook people have already found that out. |
