#84500111 H-BAR

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Product Overview

The H-Bar ads utility and options to your Hobie Mirage Pro Angler kayak. Designed with the stand-up angler

in mind, the H-Bar not only provides standing stability, but a great support platform for entering and exiting

your kayak. Use the H-Bar to pull your self up and make a cast to that feeding fish. Made from clear-coated

anodized aluminum, the H-Bar is light, strong, and quiet so fish don't spook. Mount accessories on the H-Bar

like fishfinders or rod holders or leave it clear for a stand-up paddling. Add a stripping basket to the front for

snag-free fly fishing. Cast further while you lean against the foam pad in comfort. Remove two pins and the

H-Bar folds away in seconds, leaving your front hatch and cockpit area fully accessible.

Installation Instructions

There is an H-Bar installation video available on our YouTube channel (http://youtu.be/dpxsa5GDQTw)

Attach the mounting brackets to the H-Bar frame using the pins. The protrusions of the mounting brackets should be facing up and

inwards. Lay the frame of the H-Bar with the mounting brackets attached on the mounting boards of the Pro Angler with the front of the

frame clearing the front hatch. This will provide you with a good idea of how the H-Bar will lie when it is in the down position.

The legs of the H-Bar can be flexed outward a little on each side to center the mounting brackets better on the mounting boards.
