Well I just ordered the rocket launchers and a crab davit for the boat.  The extensions and rod holders work ok, but I don't like all the clutter on the rails, and the holders being so high to clear the pedals.  Keeping with my simple layout scheme, the rocket launchers should clean it up and be great for trolling.  I will give a review when I get them.

I also ordered a scotty crab davit.  I hate pulling my crab line up the side of the kayak.  I am hoping the davit will give me better leverage with full pots, and save wear on the boat....and my back and arms!

I love new toys..... :smt007

Matt -

This been very helpful. Excellent tutorial and well thought out rigging. I will probably mount my FF and GPS on the right rail in the mesh compartment like Martin did on his Revo so I can reach it easier and will probably convert it to an AI at some point so will keep the sail mast area free of rigging. I will use a removable deck compass also.

He'd mentioned the idea of delving into the darkside at Albion but I didn't know he already did it.

Hi Matt,

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, hope you're reading this..

I was wondering if you remember what size bolts you used to mount your goodies in various areas.  Like you, I do not want to use a screw that's too long, and obviously one that's too short would do me no good.  Do you happen to remember what length they are?  Were they stainless steel screws?

I'm looking to install pad eyes (including washers & a nylon lock nut) in various places on the kayak and wanted to just order once.

Thanks!

I drilled (ouch) a big hole in the back of the kayak.  I installed a Scotty flush mount in the deck.  This is for my safety light.  I will also likely add a safety flag to the safety light.  It is an LED light, so I will simply leave it on for a day of fishing.  Never know when the fog could roll in!






how much was the light,i was thinking about getting one too.some of the people behind the wheels of powered boats are more dangerous than the ones behind the wheels of cars.but when i think about it might attract unwanted attention.imagine all those people on the water ways when they see the light in the distance and go whats that lets go check it out. :smt011
My biggest worry is that my wife(when I'm dead)will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it

walmart has some variations of the light for cheap.  ~$20
