Hobie Sidekick Ama Kit part number 72062101

The product performs great and is not difficult to install. The only two things that could be improved are the PRICE, somewhat high and the way the outriggers are adjusted. Not the easiest thing to do if you are on the water.

I got this in the hopes it would make the boat a little more stable with a sail. I found this let me use the chair in the highest setting even when there were waves. It made the ride eben more enjoyable.

Just tried it out today for a couple of hours. I bought it to stabilize the boat as my golden retriever was riding with me. She did great and the boat was totally stable. Love that you can adjust it to the three different levels. I could get out of my seat and get in the hatches without feeling like I was going to tip. Also wanted to purchase this so I could take my two year old out without the fear of capsizing but haven't tried that yet. My only worry with this product is if I take it fishing I will pop it with a hook on accident which is why I only gave it four stars. They did provide a patch kit though unless you ever get a hole. Oh yeah and I had no problem with the install. I watched the video that is on YouTube for assistance. However, please note that I do consider my self a handyman.

I bit pricey, as is everything with Hobie (just to have the name on the side). There are a few other products on the market, that I noticed after my purchase, that seem to be the exact same yet less expensive and have a different name on the side. All that said, performs well and happy with my purchase...

Impossible to put together, missing hardware.

I really like this set up because I want to sail in my kayak. Now I haven't actually been in the water with them yet because one of the pontoons had a slow leak. No problems getting a replacement however. The seller is great to work with and Amazon have an amazing return policy. One of the reasons apart from Prime that I go to them first for my needs. I give this item five stars because of the easy way they install on my kayak. I have been told that you can stand up in the kayak with these installed. I'll let you know.Hopefully I'll stay dry.

My wife and I using my mirage for ocean fishing and it makes our kayak more stable on our fishing trip.

This doesn’t fit the hobie PA14 2021 model. The center bar is too narrow. I modified it by cutting the center bar in half, using a 1” pipe in the middle I wrapped the pipe with black electric tape to make it a tight fit and put rebar inside the pipe to stop any flex. Worked okay after I made the center bar long enough to span the width of the kayak. I wouldn’t suggest it for my model of kayak, but since I bought it already and hate returning stuff, I just made it work. If you’re kinda handy, it might work for you.
