Title: Eskimo Replacement Hub
Post by: BlueSnow on Feb 21, 2018, 06:20 AM: I had an overzealous helper the other day and am now in need of a replacement hub for my Esikmo Fatfish 767 unfortunately it looks like the Eskimo parts section is sold out. Does anyone have any ideas where else you can find replacement parts? I checked on Amazon and it's also sold out there...

Appreciate the info!

thanks for the help!

Post by: BlueSnow on Mar 09, 2018, 07:37 AM: Not yet - it looks like I have to call to get the part as you can't just order it online for some reason. Out season is shot so my urgency has decreased :(

Post by: del on Mar 10, 2018, 11:06 AM: The one I showed you is an extra that I’ve carried as insurance against another failure. I obtained it by sending an email to the company’s “contact us” information on their website. Since it’s an extra that I haven’t needed, I can send it to you if you are unsuccessful getting one (or two) yourself. Shoot me a pm with your address if you want it. Our season is done as well. My gear is dried and stored for the summer. Kayak fishing is on deck!

Post by: 3300 on Jul 23, 2018, 01:51 PM: i'd buy a few hubs to offset the shipping costs. if one broke the others may not be far behind. maybe shop for their ice anchors.
