the stitches on the back part of my tramp opened up. so i have to take the tramp of and get it fixed. the way it looks to my i have to take the main beam of to...
Bernd, You don't have to take the forward beam off but you do have to loosen the beam so that you can rotate it. This means you have to remove the bolt inside...
Buzz thanks for the quick reply and the tip on the thread. so i have to take the mast down. if i just loosen the straps to rotate the beam, the straps on one ...
I found that leaving one side of the front beam tight and taking the two rear bolts of the strap and the center bolt I could lift the beam enough to get the...
I had 2 5.8's... I have done it with mast on.. makes a bit more difficult because of the pressure... I ended up milling a slot to remove the tramp while the...
I just did this same modification : "milling a slot to remove the tramp while the mast is up". It works great, even when the mast is down - you don't have to...
I am in Miami for the BCS game so I figured I'd go by and see the manufacturer of the lines we discussed a couple of weeks ago. Great shop for all kinds of...
Did you know Nacra has had some front beams fail? Do you know where they fail? They fail where they sit on the hull. At inner edge of the hull. Probably the...

greg here. i do believe i recall there being an inventory list of ropes and wires that are required for theset up of the hobiecat h16, a list that stated what...
I recall reading that information on the Hobie 16 assembly instruction manual. Will post a copy of the information, or send it to a group member upon request. ...
Hi Greg, Some line info is mingled in among the Hobie 16 parts list – http://www.hobiecat.com/support/pdfs/PARTS_14-16.pdf Line and Wire specs are in the...
I'd like to help but my 16 will be in Connecticut in Feb, probably under a foot of snow. Since I don't qualify on any count I can only wish you a nice warm...
And while you have the beam off and "exercising your nuts" check the mast post and the area around it for corrosion - don't want to be in the middle of the...

And as a personal note... REPLACE DOLPHIN STRIKER BOLTS!!! Mine sheared last March and folded the boat... When you replace them, use an anti-corrosion paste...
So as you can see there are plenty of advantages to taking you front beam off when replacing the tramp on your 5.8 as this will give you a chance to "safety...
Looking ahead to summer already and starting to plan a family reunion that may take place in the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior last half July. I have never...
Scott, in your advice, you should add insurance coverage as well. I'm sure you already know this but the girl who got severely injured and had to be taken to...
Water temps--frigid. No wetsuit should equate to no ride. Calm bays can warm up a bit, but check out the NPS website and notice to mariners. That said, I'd...
