Pro Angler steering is more sensitive than some user’s desire. Hobie Cat has designed this new steering drum to reduce this sensitivity. This change reduces the motion of the rudder in relation to handle movement. Turning sharply is reduced, but steering in a straight line is easier. The original drum size is 3 ½” while the new drum upgrade is 4 7/8” and engineers from Hobie Cat say the change to the tightness of the turn is minimal.
This will be a free upgrade and will be put into boat production. Hobie will contact registered consumers directly with this free upgrade offer once the parts are available. For all enquiries regarding the steering drum upgrade contact your local Hobie dealer.84500501 Steering Drum (In stock now)
