From what I understand those are ST fins, which will be standard on all 2015 hobie mirage kayaks. The turbo fins are even larger than ST fins. More propulsion with slightly more effort.

I plan on keeping on hand a bulk pack of WD-40
 from Costco for cleaning after a thorough washdown then a good shot of Corrosion-X to complete the daily service. Maybe a little overkill, however that's how I learned to service anything with ball bearings (from all my reels to especially all the rollers on my bait/trolling rods!) that's why I've never had a  seize/failure or had to replace any of them!

However I was referring to rinsing the drive with water then any pivot points/moving parts with WD-40 and finally cleaning/coating same said moving parts with Corrosion-X (Like the bearings, cable & chain!). If I don't plan on fishing salt again for a while, I'll learn to "tear down" the drive like my reels and do a "storage service". Sorry, my bad for not expressing myself in a more clear and concise manner. FFY |
