Was out the other day on my new 2018 PA 12 and when I popped the mirage drive out at the launch I I discovered one of the fins had snapped at the point when the black plastic part of the fin beneath the pin meets the top of the fin. Only the 3 rd tip out, so I bummed out. Was wondering if this would be covered under any Hobie warranty. It wasn’t due to any major stress. I was just out cruising with my 3 year old son. Has anyone else had problems with these fins? I have a 2016 outback and have never had a problem with those turbo fins and they have taken some hits. Thanks.

Ask your dealer to file a claim. We should be able to cover that.

Great, thank you Matt. I contacted ACK today and hope I can get a new fin soon. Love the new yak and look forward to getting back on the water

In the mean time zip ties might work

The zip ties held up, another reason to keep them in the yak.

Just a follow up. Went thru ACK, they filed a claim. Received a replacement fin from Hobie, no cost. Thank you.
