I don't own an Adventure but it seems like the area to install a FF is on the "mast insert sail kit". However, I'm not really sure if you can actually "see" the FF with the peddals in the way....

anyway, good luck and post pics when you have it rigged.

This is the best location I've found and the pedals do not get in the way.
Why Do I paddle a kayak instead of a float tube or a pontoon boat? I like seeing where I'm going not where I've been!
Paddle safe and wrap'em tight.

On my sport I mounted my FF on a large pill bottle and then stuffed into the left sided drink holder. It worked really well as it is within easy reach and view. If I was making a risky beach re-entry, I would stow-it.
Since the adventure doesn't have drink holders the deck area next to the mast looks like a logical place (though a little far to efectively see and adjust). I myself would make a mounting bar, put it on a pole and stick it in the mast hole. A small bungie attached to the front of the pole (like the hobie mast) will keep it from turning and then you can remove it as well for beach re-entrys where your yak can flip and your FF get ripped off. You can also create a camera mount and take pics of you and your catch on the yak.
Actually post this question on www.kayakfishingstuff.com site.
