Post subject: | Kickstand Pull Cord too short |
Hello, I have a brand new PA14, when installing the seat I noticed that the kickstand doesn’t automatically pop all the way up to catch the seat. I have determined that the pull cord is too tight with a lot of tension, if I barley pull It the kickstand moves… Is there any simple fix to this or should I take it to the dealer? How hard is it to fish a new rope through to replace? I can see the knots but it doesn’t look like there is any extra rope to spare. |

Given it is brand new, I recommend not taking any action to fix yourself. Take it to a Hobie dealer for warranty service. This also assures the issue is documented if you have more problems later. Peter |

Check for line routing issues. Possibly something in the hull has moved and restricted the line. |

Is there a schematic for the interior routing that includes the kickstand line? |

There is no diagram that I have. Looking inside the boat using a phone camera while actuating the control could help identify something that has tangled or blocked the line. If not simple... head to your dealer. |
