1 Thank you for choosing a Hobie Mirage Inflatable Kayak. As a member of the Hobie way of life, you are now on the road to pure adventure in pedaling and paddling. This owner ’s manual is designed to help you get maximum enjoyment from your new Hobie kayak.
2 Sit-on-top Cockpit Hobie Mirage kayaks are open-top cockpit designs. This allows the kayaker to enter and exit the kayak easily from the shore, dock or water . Scupper hole(s) make the kayak self-bailing. The design also eliminates the need to perform an “Eskimo roll” (advanced kayak technique).
3 Inflating Y our Hobie Mirage Kayak Follow the instructions below for valve operation and correct inflation and deflation procedures. V alve Operation Y our kayak is equipped with three differ- ent chambers that need to be inflated. All of the valves are located near the rear of the boat.
4 Inflation T ips and Precautions · The boat can be inflated either with our hand pump or an electric pump. The electric pump can inflate the boat to a moderate pressure and save a lot of time with about 90% of the required air volume. Y ou will need to use your hand pump to inflate the chambers to the correct pressure.
5 Rear Draining Scuppers Located just behind the seat on the i12s and behind the rear most seat on the i14t are two draining scup- pers. These will allow any water to drain if it collects near your seat bot- tom. Pull the plug out of the tube to allow water to drain.
6 Rudder Operation Steering Operation and Adjustment On the left side of the kayak is a steering handle which turns the rudder left and right. When in use, place your hand on the disk and rotate the tab left and right to turn the rudder .
7 Hobie Mirage Drive Drive Installation/Removal 1. Insert the Hobie Mirage Drive into the opening of the hull in front of the seat location so it is facing forward. The front of the Mirage Drive can be determined by the location of the fin masts. The forward edge is illustrated to the right.
8 W ashing After using in salt water or dirty water , wash the Hobie Mirage Drive with fresh water . Allow to dry , then spray metal parts (nuts, chains, cable ends, etc..) with WD-40™ or equivalent. Cable Adjustments Determining if adjustment is needed.
9 The kayak storage bag is a travel design to allow you to get your kayak into the bag as easily as possible with minimal folds. Follow the diagrams below for the best folding proce- dures of the tandem and single inflatable kayaks.
10 Easy-Load Kayak Storage T ravel Bag Place the folded kayak over the bag so the bottom rub rail runs with the length of the bag. Pull the corners of the bag up around the side of the kayak. Clip the three buck- les with webbing and cinch up the straps to compress the bag around the kayak.
1 1 Basic Kayak Information Basic Kayak Features The front of the boat is the “bow” and the rear is the “stern”. When looking forward to the bow , the left side of the boat is “port” and the right side is “starboard”. The hull ID number can be found on the bottom of the boat, at the stern.
12 Safety Checklist · T o avoid damage to the Hobie Mirage Drive, push either pedal completely forward before beaching or in shallow water . Use small, partial pedal strokes with one pedal nearly all the way forward until there is adequate water depth for the Mirage Drive to have com- plete clearance in the water .
13 How to Perform a Self Rescue If you fall out of your boat, don’t panic. Stay with the boat. Y ou should be wearing a life jacket which will keep you afloat. There are many ways to get back up on the boat. If the boat is upside-down, it will need to be turned over .
14 Paddling Y ou can choose to paddle, pedal or combine the two. These guidelines will help you to get started. T o start, sit in your kayak. Y our backside should be all the way back in the seat and your knees comfortably bent. T o find the proper footwell, straighten your legs all the way out and then bring them back one “well”.

16 T ransporting Y our Hobie Kayak The most compact and common way to transport your kayak is to deflate it and place it inside the storage travel bag provided with the kayak.
