My Hobie mirage drive jammed.

My Hobie mirage drive (v2) jammed today again on LJ.
Last time it jammed, I thought I didn't insert it well.
Today I found out it is not how I insert it, the "set screw" was way too loose .

When the mirage drive jammed, you can still peddle it , but you can not lift it out ( to clear the kelp, landing etc...) .

Simple fix , and don't let it happened to you .


See below : the metal rod extended out and locked under the hull :

After hammered in the metal rod , set screw ( center of this picture) need to be tight :
