Great addition to a great boat! Well made, easy to install and makes it much easier to spot the fish. Now I have something better to hang on to when I hook one big enough to give me a good ride.

The H bar does everything its supposed to and is excellent quality. The mounting instructions arent very specific and thats why I rated it 4 instead of 5. You really need to consider what ever else you will be mounting and round those up first, then lay out your materials for rigging before mounting this. For example, mounting it too far rearward and you might not be able to have your fish finder in the spot that is optimal. I used the sideboards front inside mounting bolt as one of the holes needed to mount the bar. This put the bar as far forward as possible leaving more of the rear part of the boards for me to mount other accessories. Also, the price. Come on guys! Almost $200 for what is essentially a kitchen folding step stool without the step?! If I had the time, I would have bought one of those kitchen step stools that have a grab bar and outfitted it to fit in the place of the H bar. The only justification is how well it is constructed. Like everything Hobie builds, you get the best in materials, construction, fit, finish.

This is a great add on product in my opinion. Especially for those of us "young at heart" anglers that do not have the balance we once had...lol - easy enough install - light weight - easy on/off design (attaches with pull pins) - can put up or take down while on the water with ease. - makes standing up and sitting back down a breeze. - With practice, can also be used to get in/out of the PA easier. As it is winter and the water is a little too cold to go in the drink, I am currently using it just to get up and stretch for awhile and then sit back down. As the weather/water warms in the coming months will be standing much more to fish for sure. This is a great leaning tool...but I see how it can also act as a lever if grabing from the side if you loose your balance. What is a pretty sturdy Yak/Boat...can flip pretty easily now. So, just apply some common sense when using. I rated this product 4 stars...but only because I believe that nothing is perfect...there is always room for improvement. Tight lines!
