Simple Hobie Outback setup for Santiago

Sorry Santiago. It will only be some pictures for now. I am packing boxes for the
Philippines. I'll answer questions when I get back. Good luck and I hope it helps
a little at least on your new kayak.

Take care,
Jedmo

More!

More rod holder setup pic.

I bought a ram FF mount and extention from Hook 1 to go into the sail mast.

This is my anchor setup which I had gotten some ideas from some great folks here.

Great illustrated pictures Jed.  I guess you're done packing for the long trip back home 

I learned how to splice a nylon rope. I hope I have a picture of it here somewhere.
BTW, I used the Marine Goop Adhesive for the holes I have made on the kayak
and for the transducer pad. The pad I had used was a cut out from a garden knee
pad you can buy anywhere. Oh, here is the updated version of the bungee end
with a stainless ring for and easy release.

Good luck,
Jedmo

Tank you Jed!!!!
Santiago.

Those are some clean installs, nice work Jed.

Nice work Jed!  I'll have to post mine as soon as I finish.  I've got a couple more things to complete but almost there.

jed, so the ram wedge mount fits in your sail mast tube fine?

jed, so the ram wedge mount fits in your sail mast tube fine?

The short answer is yes!  I used the same setup. 

Basically there is a screw that runs the entire length of the wedge.  You can place the wedge in the mast and the opening at the top of the wedge is where you place the screwdriver to tighten it.  At the bottom is a nylock nut sitting in a groove so that when you screw, the bottom is being sucked up into the top, thus expanding and holding it tight in the mast.  Does that make sense?

not really, but i will just take your word for it that it works =)

i am thinking about trying it for my wife's hobie sport so i can mount a FF on it.

I was using this for a while until somebody here made a comment about my
mount. LOL My wife caught me cutting up her kitchen sink brush. She
loved the idea afterwards though.

Sorry it didn't make sense but yes, you can take my word for it that it does work.
