Hi Hammbone. I will also instal traveler kit to my Hobie, but I don't have any instruction. I got a much cheaper one from another boat. So could you please take a picture of instruction you got from Hobie and put it on forum. A lot of wind to everybody Samo

My kit came with plenty of rivets, so I put a rivet in every hole.

I forgot to mention....... I took my boat out about a month ago in some big winds (20 to 25mph) to try out my new traveler. I didn't really get much of a chance to try it out though. The waves were just too big. Waves must have been 2 to 2-1/2 feet. I couldn't get any speed up because the bows just kept hitting those big waves and slowing me down. I did have my first pitchpole in those waves that day though. So now I have experienced that, and I also got experience righting my boat for the first time! It'll be next spring now before I get to try out the traveler. There's a thin layer of ice on the lake right now! Jim

Thanks for the Pics Hammbone. I've just ordered mine and was wondering how to install it. On a different subject, what are you using as your main sheet? I see that is a different system than the original one. Thanks Alex
