The Outback is Power Pole Micro ready! Simply thread straight into the molded-in brass inserts atop the stern of the kayak using Hobie’s hardware kit for the 2019 Outback (includes four 1/4-20x .75" stainless socket head screws and a .5ml capsule of Loctite Blue). The Power Pole Micro, NEW Ultra-Light 8’ Spike, and the Micro Lithium Battery pack makes for the ultimate lightweight combination.
