Reply to: Hobie 18 front crossbar bolt assembly

[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=pomalley]So (cutting to the chase): the reason the starboard hull looked like it was moving independently the other day was because the forward inboard bolt holding the hull to the crossbar is gone. [/quote] [quote=911hobie]Inside the crossbar is a plug with threads. It is riveted from the outside to the inside of the crossbar. You need to remove the the end cap of the effected side, drill out the rivets to the old plug, remove it and install the new plug and bolt the hull back up using the new hex bolt. Don't forget to coat the bolt with some type of anti corrosion material.[/quote] Peter, if you end up repairing your beam, please try to take pictures of the damage, the parts, and the steps to repair to help the next Hobie 18 owner with this problem. This would be a good subject for a new album in the [url=http://www.thebeachcats.com/index.php?module=pictures&type=&g2_itemId=10570]Beachcats Technical[/url] section. Good luck,[/quote]
