Mines just taped on to the side of the pole within reach with holes in the pole above and below to pass wire in or out as required. Then wire comes out near bottom of pole with water proof connection to attach to a battery located in tankwell just behind crate in a container within a dry bag. Dry bag held in place by clipping around tank well bungies.

Re: My Hobie Mirage Revolution
Its a 13 the 11 wasn't made then and therefore not in that colour either
The year models are released from sept the year before hence it could be 2009 model release from the factory september 2008 by the look of it. Last two digits of the serial number indicate year 08, 09 etc

The explanation for the serial number can be found here:

The T after CCM designates the kayak model type. I can't find whether T is a revo 13 or 11 but judging by the age it's almost certainly a 13. The other way to be sure is to measure the length. A revo 13 is 13 foot long and a revo 11 is 11 foot. Simple.

Re: My Hobie Mirage Revolution
Most likely a revo 13 was just called a revo until the 11 was introduced then it became revo 13 & 11 respectively

From the looks I think that may be a 2015 or 2016 model? Or is it new?time2fish wrote:so i sold the revo and purchased a pro angler 12. some pictures here
BTW suggest that you don't store it with the wheels in as that can cause the hull to warp, especially in hot weather.
