I FINALLY GOT OFF MY ARSE AND RIGGED MY RTM ABACO
I wanted the rigging to be simple- not too much clutter and provide a maximum usage of space.
One of the most important things to me was to keep the cock-pit area as open as possible. I installed both my fish-finder and transducer deployment arm as portable units not wanting to drill any holes, I attached them to the tracks on each side.
The center hatch of the cock-pit is large enough to carry all the essentials- two piece rod and tackle fit comfortably.
Emergency paddle and bilge pump along with rods and gear fit easily in the bow hatch area.
In the rear of the boat, I have various configurations that i like to use. The rear case can be used for gear storage, fish storage or for camping gear but is ideal in surf launches to protect my gear.
I can also remove the case leaving the tank well completely open or throw in my plano box to carry my rods, or install pvc frame for carrying my crab traps.
90% of the rigging on this kayak were inspired by posts from other NCKA Members- so thanks and see you OTW.
