I am new to hobie cats as well as sailing. There are two hobie cats near me that a free but have no trailers. I am going to pick them up with my truck. I was wondering what tools I will need to disassemble them so they fit in the truck bed and on the ladder rack. I figure the four hauls and one mast on the rack. And all the other parts in the bed. Thanks for the help Brian |

Four bolts hold the trampoline frame to the hulls. You will need a big sand filled "Dead Blow" mallet or steel mallet and a 2x4. Remove the trampolines to make frame dis-assembly easier. Significant blows from the underside of the corner castings are required to drive the castings off the pylons. I'd move assembled if possible. Renting or borrowing a trailer and adding 4x4 crossbars works. Way easier than dis-assembly. Manual here: http://www.hobiecat.com/support/hobie-16/ |

Two adjustable wrenches and a dead blow hammer should get the job done? Not an option to use a trailer I,ll have to take them apart to get them home. Thanks for the manual pdf going to download and read through it now. |
