For those who are not familiar, on the 2015 Hobie Mirage yaks, the Vantage CT seat has pegs in the rear. These pegs are on a retractable cord and when you lift the rear of the seat, you need to pull on the cord at the same time in order to extend the pegs out so they rest on the tabs in the seat well and thus allowing the chair to stay in the high position.
The problem is if you lean forward enough or stand up, the pegs retract (they are spring loaded) and therefore reset to the low position. So you go from being up in the high position to having the rear sink all the way down. Really annoying and also if you are like me and store tackle under the seat then you risk damaging the tackle box.
After some searching around I found a fix on the Hobie Forums and basically works a treat.
Normally, the pegs are by default, retracted in via a loaded spring like so :
If you are like me and you fish almost exclusively from the high position, then what you have to do is unscrew that black philips head screw where the spring meets the peg. The screw will pop out. You need to twist the eyelet of the spring in the opposite direction and screw the Philips head screw back in.
By doing this, the default load of the spring is in the opposite direction and therefore forces the pegs out.
The default position should now look like this:
Note: this becomes the default and ONLY position. You cannot retract the pegs back in with this mod.
You can always go back to the previous configuration at any time but for me this really makes my fishing a whole lot more enjoyable!
Cheers!

however this is for those with a 2015 Vantage CT seat none the less. 
but as you pointed out its really a great trap for all manner of stuff a person would not want there.
