Welcome to the Hobie Way of Life
Thank you for choosing a Hobie Mirage 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. But more important, it is designed to help you use it safely. The
content of this manual covers all Mirage kayaks.

About the Design of your Kayak
Sit-on-top Cockpit
The 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). The
contoured seat is fitted with an adjustable backrest for
added comfort.
Hull Design
The long center “keel” area encourages the kayak to track
straight when paddling and coasting. Under moderate pad-
dling conditions, the wider “shoulder” area of the hull rides
high at the surface of the water without compromising
speed. If the kayak is fully loaded with gear or is being pad-
dled and braced in rough conditions, the “shoulder” areas
provide secondary buoyancy and stability.
Maneuverability
All 2007 Mirage Kayaks come with the patent pending Twist
and Stow rudder system. This system comes pre-installed by
our factory. This new rudder is designed to flip out of the way
during land transport and has an optional larger rudder blade
for more turning authority with the kayak sailing option.
Scupper Hole(s)
Drain holes (scuppers) in the cockpit or cargo well allow any
water that enters the cockpit to immediately flow back out.
Graphics
Graphics are molded into the kayaks, so they will not peel or
flake off for the life of the boat.

Hobie Mirage Drive
Drive Installation
1. Insert the Hobie Mirage Drive into the
opening of the hull near the footwells 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.
2. To lock the drive into the hull, turn the cam knobs on both
sides of the Mirage Drive until they are snug.
Pedal Adjustment
LOCKED
UNLOCKED
FORWARD
The pedals of the Hobie Mirage Drive are adjustable to
accommodate different leg lengths of kayakers. To adjust
the pedals:
1. Squeeze the adjuster han-
dles located on the pedal
cranks.
2. Keeping the adjuster handle
squeezed, move the pedal
crank to the most comfortable
position. Like a bicycle, it is
best to adjust the pedals so that
your legs do not fully extend
and knees lock. Make sure that
the metal pin on the crank fully
engages the adjustment hole.

Washing
After using in salt water or dirty
water, wash the Hobie Mirage
Drive with fresh water. Allow to
dry, then spray metal parts with
WD-40™ or equivalent. Special
attention should be paid to thread-
ed cable ends, lock nuts, chain,
shafts, pedals, and adjustment
pins.
Cable Adjustments
Determining if adjustment is needed...
Occasionally the cables may need to be
re-tightened. The cables should be kept
taut; however, the front chain should be a
little tighter than the rear chain. Push
with your thumbs at the points marked
(A) with moderate pressure (see the
image to the right). The side of the chain
should not go beyond the inside edge of
the drum casting.
AA
B
Drum Casting
When turning cable adjusting nuts, use a vise grip on the
solid portion of the stud to prevent the cable from twisting.
Turn the nut with a 7/16 inch open-end wrench, only giving it
one half a turn at a time, then do the same to the remaining
three nuts. Re-check the tension and adjust accordingly.
Note: Keep the pedal shafts and masts parallel. When the
shafts are together, both masts must be straight down. The
idler pulley cable (see item B in the illustration below) will be
tightened automatically when the front chain assembly is
tightened.
Miscellaneous Maintenance
Periodically check for loose screws or frayed cables. If a
cable has a broken strand, replace it with new cable.
CAUTION
Care should be taken to avoid hitting objects with the Hobie
Mirage Drive. If you bend a mast, it usually can be straightened.
To straighten a mast, remove the Mirage Drive from the boat and
insert the drive into something solid, such as a vise. Remove the
fin, then carefully bend the mast until straight. To test for true, roll
mast on a flat surface and straighten as needed until the masts
roll evenly. If the mast cannot be straightened or becomes
cracked or fatigued, replace the mast.

The Twist-and-Stow Rudder System Patent Pending
The Twist-and-Stow rudder system comes pre-installed and
adjusted from our factory. With extensive use, the rudder
system may need to be adjusted. The following information
is intended to familiarize you with the rudder and how it
works.
These bolts give you the ability
to change between a larger or
smaller rudder blade.
The left steering control line
passes up through the hole in
the hex head bolt.
The right steering
control line passes
up through the hole
here and is tight-
ened down with
the small screw
alongside it.
The left steer-
ing control line
is tied off at
the screw
here.
There is an optional larger rudder
blade available, which improves
performance with the kayak sailing
option.

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.
In the middle of the boat, there is a cockpit area, with the seat
(toward the stern) and footwells (toward the bow). Inside the
cockpit are scupper hole(s) that go all the way through the
boat. These scuppers allow the boat to drain. Your particular
model may have hatches that allow access to the inside of
the boat for gear storage.
Alongside the cockpit are a series of small “U” straps, called
pad eyes. These are used to attach accessories such as
backrests.
Recommended Equipment for Specific Types of
Pedaling and Paddling
Basic Boating: Life Jacket, Paddle, Paddle Leash, Backrest,
Safety Whistle, Filled Water Bottle, Appropriate Safety
Equipment.
Longer Distance Touring:Dry Bags, Chart, Compass.
Additional Equipment for Diving: Dive Flag, Anchor.

Safety
Paddle/pedal sports can be dangerous and physically
demanding. The user of this product should understand that
participating in kayaking may involve serious injury or death.
Observe the following safety standards when using this
product. These are basic safety rules that all boaters should
follow. Always use common sense and follow all safety rules
at all times.

Safety Checklist
·To 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 for-
ward until there is adequate water depth for the Mirage Drive to
have complete clearance in the water.
·Consult your physician prior to beginning
paddle/pedal sports.
·Always carry the spare paddle provided with the boat.
·Obtain paddle/pedal sports instructions from your dealer specific
to this type of craft.
·Obtain certified first aid training and carry first aid and
rescue/safety equipment.
·Always wear a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device.
·Wear a helmet where appropriate.
·Dress appropriately for weather conditions; cold water and/or
weather can result in hypothermia.
·Check your equipment prior to each use for signs of wear or fail-
ure.
·Never pedal or paddle alone.
·Always tie a leash to your paddle.
·Do not pedal or paddle in flood conditions.
·Care must be made to ensure that the access hatches on your
kayak remain closed while on the water. Water can enter a hatch
that is left open and possibly flood the hull making the boat unsta-
ble or cause inadequate flotation for the passenger(s).
·Be aware of appropriate river water levels, tidal changes, dan-
gerous currents, obstacles in and above the water and weather
changes.
·Scout unfamiliar waters; portage where appropriate.
·Do not exceed your paddling/pedaling ability; be aware of your
limitations.
·Hobie Kayaks were not designed for fast moving water.
·Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for use of this prod-
uct.
·If additional outfitting is added to this craft, use manufacturer-
approved materials only; do not impair entry or exit access.
·Read owner’s information package prior to using this product.
·The user of this product acknowledges both an understanding
and assumption of the risk involved in paddle/pedal sports.
·When paddling in a new area, check with the locals regarding
currents, shoreline conditions and weather patterns. Plan an
“escape route” -- an alternative place to get off the water should
environmental conditions dictate. Beware of offshore winds that
may make it difficult to return to shore.
·DO NOT use alcohol or mind-altering drugs prior to or while
using this product.
The Shakedown Cruise
As with any new product, it is important that you become familiar
with the craft and all its features. It is also important to determine
if the kayak is sound before long trips. We recommend that you
do what we call a “shakedown cruise” when the kayak is new,
after shipping or transport, before long trips and after installing any
through hull fittings. This test is typically done in shallow, calm
conditions where you can familiarize yourself with the boat or test
the boat before taking any long trips into open water. Things that
you should check or practice are
·Rudder Operation
·Mirage Adjustment
·Practice getting in and out of the kayak from a capsized state
·Drain plug locations to make sure they are properly installed
·Closing the hatches properly
·Taking the kayak sail down on the water (if applicable)

How to Perform a Self Rescue
If you fall out of your boat, don’t panic. Stay with the boat. You
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. To
do this, reach across the bottom of the boat and grab the
scupper hole or Hobie Mirage Drive and pull the boat upright.
Position yourself so your head is near the cockpit area of the
boat and you are facing the boat. You will want to be between
the seat and the footwell areas of the boat.
Reach across the boat to the far edge with one hand. Place
the other hand on the near-side rail, then kick with your feet,
pulling yourself up and onto the boat, so your belly is across
the center line of the boat. (Your belly should end up between
the footwells and the seat.)
Next, roll over onto your backside toward the seat, which
should place your backside in the seat. Sit up, swing your
feet into the footwells and you’re ready to go.
The key to this method is to keep your center of gravity low
and near the centerline of the boat. Your body and head
should stay close to the boat.
CAUTION: While righting the Hobie Mirage or climbing back
aboard, stay clear of the pedals, pedal shafts, sails and
adjustment straps. Avoid being hit by them or getting them
hooked on your life jacket.
Pedaling
First adjust the pedals to accommodate your size as shown
a few pages back. Adjustments can be made for a variety of
leg lengths. Adjust the pedal positions equally. Sit with one
pedal all the way forward so your knee stays slightly bent
when your leg is fully extended. Then you simply pedal back
and forth to propel the boat forward. For pedaling in shallow
water, partial strokes with one pedal forward and one aft
allow for retractment of the sails in shallow water. When there
is adequate water for clearance of the fins, full strokes can be
used. For additional speed you can paddle as well as pedal.
Before beaching or launching, push one pedal completely
forward to retract the Hobie Mirage Drive fins up against the
hull and kick up the rudder by flipping the lever on the right
side of the boat to the forward (rudder up) position. To take
off from the beach, push out to deeper water or paddle out
before putting the rudder down and pedaling the Mirage
Drive.
If launching from a rocky or wavy shore, to avoid damage to
your Mirage Drive, paddle into deeper water before installing
it. (Be sure to tether the Mirage Drive to you kayak when it is
not installed.) You may also prefer to remove the drive
before beaching.
If your kayak turns over with the kayak sail up, it can be very
difficult to turn the kayak over by rolling just the kayak. Make
sure that the mainsheet is loose so that the sail is free to
move around.

10
Paddling
You can choose to paddle,
pedal or combine the two.
These guidelines will help you
to get started.
To start, sit in your kayak. Your
backside should be all the way
back in the seat and your
knees comfortably bent. To find
the proper footwell, straighten
your legs all the way out and
then bring them back one
“well”. If your legs are too out-
stretched, you may experience strain on your lower back. If
your knees are bent too much, you may end up knocking
your kneecaps while paddling.
For proper hand placement on your paddle, start with your
hands about a shoulder’s width apart and centered. If you
place the center of the paddle on top of your head, your
elbows should form slightly less than a 90 degree angle.
There should be an equal amount of paddle shaft beyond
each of your hands.
Some paddles may have the blades offset, or “feathered”, at
some degree from parallel. A feathered paddle presents less
surface area for the wind to catch as that blade moves for-
ward through the air. Some paddles have a flattened spot
along the paddle shaft that will help keep your “control” hand
in a fixed position. However, a special technique must be
used to get each blade in the water. If the paddle is right-
hand controlled (when the right blade is held vertical, the left
blade “scoop” is pointed mostly up), the right hand will stay
tight and the left hand loose. To learn the process, hold the
paddle tight in your right hand and loose in your left. Using
the right hand, rotate the paddle blade back and forth; it
should spin in your left hand. Now take a stroke on your right,
then cock your right wrist back (left hand staying loose and
somewhat open) and take a stroke on your left. If using a left-
hand control paddle, reverse the process. The left hand stays
tight and the right hand loose.
The basic paddle stroke will give you forward power. Place a
paddle blade in the water near your toes. Pull the paddle
blade back alongside the boat to approximately your hip area
while your opposite hand and paddle blade move forward.
Then lift the first paddle blade out of the water while lowering
the second blade into the water and take a stroke with the
other side.
If you pull the paddle out and away from the hull in an arc, it
will force the bow of the boat to swing away from the paddle
blade. This is called a “sweep stroke” and is used to turn the
boat.

More Paddling Tips
Hobie kayaks are very easy to use and very forgiving. By
beginning in calm water, you can quickly get the feel of the
boat and paddle techniques. Practice getting in and out of the
boat by yourself.
Relax your hands when paddling; a tight grip is not neces-
sary!
Sit with good posture while keeping your torso vertical.
Choose a footrest position that will allow your knees to be
slightly bent.
For greater efficiency use not only your arms, but your torso
and shoulders as well. Start out easy until you get the feel of
the paddle and the steering strokes. Most experienced pad-
dlers use an offset (feathered) paddle, but beginners may
prefer to keep the paddle blades square.
Storing Your Hobie Kayak
Hobie has chosen a blend of plastic that has an added meas-
ure of ultraviolet inhibitors to provide superior protection from
ultraviolet light. However, to ensure extra years of flexibility
and bright colors, avoid storing the boat where it will be
exposed to weather or in direct sunlight.
Kayaks should be stored upside down on the cockpit rails, or
suspended in the air. When hanging your kayak, make sure
that the ropes or straps support most of the weight on the
cockpit rails or the side of the boat. A word of caution: hang-
ing by the scupper hole(s) may cause distortion, and hanging
from the handles may place undue strain on them. Storing
the boat bottom-side down may also cause distortion. Kayak
storage systems are available from your dealer. Pad eyes
are NOT intended for hanging or for use as tie-downs.
To prevent theft of your kayak, simply run a cable through a
scupper hole and lock it to something secure.
Mirage Scupper Plug
You Hobie Mirage kayak is shipped with a Mirage Cassette
Plug. The plug is provided as standard equipment in the
Mirage Kayak package and is used to fill the space where the
Mirage fits into the hull. It is inserted when the Mirage Drive
is removed to provide added safety and to “fair” the bottom of
the hull when paddling.
To install the cassette plug, simply place the plug in the hole
for the Mirage Drive mechanism and lock it down using the
cam lock knobs.

12
Transporting Your Hobie Kayak
The easiest way to transport your Hobie kayak is to purchase
a roof rack from your dealer. This normally involves a set of
crossbars that attach to the car via the rain gutters or adapter
clips mounted to the door frame. They come with a wide vari-
ety of attachments from kayak saddles to stackers. The racks
can be used without the attachments but the racks should be
padded. To help prevent distortion, place the kayak, cockpit
side down, on top of the rack. It is best if the crossbars con-
tact the cockpit sides and not the deck areas. Straps can then
be laid across the boat and tied to the bars. Saddles cradle
the boat and often come with their own straps. Stackers allow
multiple boats to be placed on their sides without falling over.
An alternative to traditional rack systems are soft racks. They
tend to be less expensive and will work with most cars.
These are pads mounted on straps that sit between the
kayak and the roof of your car. Some styles have a strap that
wraps around the kayak and others strap the pad to the roof.
To tie the boat to the car, straps are run through the car doors
and the boat is tied to the roof as well as the bumpers, front
and rear. Over-tightening the straps may cause dents in the
roof of the car. Be sure to first consult your owner’s manual
for the car and roof rack system to ensure that you comply
with all of their recommendations, precautions and specifica-
tions.
A line run from the bow and stern of the boat to each
bumper is required. If your bumpers do not have a gap to
pass a rope around, look underneath. There should be a loop
of metal, which is used by car transports such as tow trucks.
Many people like to use the scupper holes to tie the boat to
the car. This helps prevent the boat from sliding back and
forth or the tie-down rope from slipping off the kayak. This is
a perfectly acceptable method for tying the boat down.
About Polyethylene
Continuing Hobie’s tradition of offering the latest in technolo-
gy at an affordable price, your new kayak is made of roto-
molded Super Linear Polyethylene II. Polyethylene offers a
major advantage because it is virtually indestructible under
normal use. Being somewhat flexible, it gives on impact and
derives its stiffness from compound curves. Polyethylene is
very abrasion-resistant.
Plug-In Seatbacks
All Hobie Mirage seatbacks use a plug-in
method of attaching to the hull. Locate
the small hole pockets on the seat bottom
and press in the plugs attached to the seat
backs. Some kayaks have two sets of
holes to allow for more adjustment. We recommend that
the seatbacks be removed while car topping your kayak.

Is my boat recyclable?
Hobie will recycle your boat when you are done with it. To
recycle a Hobie Kayak, it must be cut up so it fits in a box with
the following dimensions (for UPS): may not exceed 130”
length plus girth, and 108” in height. Ship the boat to:
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I replace the screw-in fittings (if equipped)?
You may find it necessary to replace some of the pad eyes or
hooks if they are damaged. To replace them, follow the
instructions below.
1. Drill two 3/16” holes opposite one
another on the top surface of the screw-
in fitting. Be careful not to go all the way
through the part and into the kayak.
2. Insert the two prongs of a pair of
needle nose pliers into the two holes
and rotate the part counterclockwise.
3. Grip the new part with your pliers and
install it into the hole. Be sure to put a
little pressure into the hole so that the
threads on the new part install in prop-
erly.

It is our hope that no Hobie Kayak will ever end up in
a landfill!
Is my boat repairable?
Hobie kayaks are very durable, however, on occasion they
may need some minor repairs. Linear polyethylene is
repairable. Check with your dealer concerning repairs for
your kayak.
What is the best way to use the scupper plugs?
The scupper plugs are useful when
you would like to keep the inside of
your boat dry and is most helpful in
calmer water conditions. Simply press
the plug firmly into the scupper hole
from the top side of the boat. To pre-
vent loss of the plugs, lanyards are
provided with the plugs so that you can
attach them to the boat.
