Product Overview
The H-Bar ads utility and options to your Hobie Mirage Pro Angler kayak. Designed with the stand-up angler
in mind, the H-Bar not only provides standing stability, but a great support platform for entering and exiting
your kayak. Use the H-Bar to pull your self up and make a cast to that feeding sh. Made from clear-coated
anodized aluminum, the H-Bar is light, strong, and quiet so sh don’t spook. Mount accessories on the H-Bar
like shnders or rod holders or leave it clear for a stand-up paddling. Add a stripping basket to the front for
snag-free y shing. Cast further while you lean against the foam pad in comfort. Remove two pins and the
H-Bar folds away in seconds, leaving your front hatch and cockpit area fully accessible.

Installation Instructions
There is an H-Bar installation video available on our YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/dpxsa5GDQTw)
STEP: 1
Attach the mounting brackets to the H-Bar frame using the pins. The protrusions of the mounting brackets should be facing up and
inwards. Lay the frame of the H-Bar with the mounting brackets attached on the mounting boards of the Pro Angler with the front of the
frame clearing the front hatch. This will provide you with a good idea of how the H-Bar will lie when it is in the down position.

STEP: 2
With the H-Bar in the desired position, drill a pilot hole on the front mounting brackets and attach them with one bolt each to hold
the H-Bar in place. The legs of the H-Bar can be exed outward a little on each side to center the mounting brackets better on the
mounting boards.
STEP: 3
Fold the H-Bar into the up position and determine the correct height of the top of the H-Bar. Usually waist height is the most
comfortable t. Adjust it fore or aft depending on your height. Drill pilot holes for the rear mounting brackets when they are in the
desired position. Again the legs of the H-Bar can be exed outward to t better.

STEP: 4
Now we know where the mounting brackets will need to be installed so we can nish the installation off. Use the remaining bolts,
washers and nuts to install the mounting brackets.
STEP: 5
The H-Bar is connected to the front mounting brackets with friction pins. These pins are for quick removal of the bar. If the H-Bar will
remain on your kayak, the front pins may be removed and replaced with the provided large bolts and nuts. This will provide a more
solid install for long term use. Be careful to not over-tighten the bolts.

For transport, put the H-Bar in the down position; loop the bungee through the front handle of your Pro Angler and through the H-Bar.
Connect the hook to the loop to hold it in place.
