Well done Pat.....very nice set up.

Great set up I Love that boat I want to get one so bad...

Maybe by the end of the year... Gotta start saving for one, Just dont want to buy parts at a time when I go for it I want to just get the whole thing FF, Rod Holders, and all and want to get one of those fancy Color/GPS fishfinders.

if you where to drag the kayak on the ground with the FF in the scupper would it scratch. Not that I would drag my kayak over anything hard other then sand. Just woundered if it could get caught on anything like Kelp.

Thanks in advance...

It looks PERFECT!    I hope you don't mind, but I may be stealing some of your designs

AlsHobieOutback this is why we all post things to share and make it a little easer for the next person to pimp there ride , you are more then welcome  .

Rhyak I think one corner or the transducer might get scratched up if you dragged it on the ground hears a couple of photos of the bottom.

What kind of rivet gun are you all using and where did you get one at?

I use a cheapo one like the ones they sell at Harbor Freight. It has different tip attachment for different size rivets. I have had it for years and it works great. Its like this one.

Just make sure you use rivets that are split like these

as for the transducer, i noticed yours sticks out kind of like shickens does. for whatever reason mine does not stick out quite as far. 

Hi long time lurker, first time poster. I'm on the East Coast (Jersey City, NJ) and plan on catch and releasing some big stipers in the Hudson river this spring!

I've been researching and planning my PT13 customization for a few weeks now. This is one my favorite examples that i've found. Pat. R thank you for posting!

Pat R. (or anyone who knows the answer) forgive my ignorance, but how did you do this?

"I used small electrical stick-up to hide the wires from the FF to the battery bag also neatly wrapped up the transducer wire keeping it up and out of the way from incoming rods."

What is "small electrical stick-up"? I did a few google searches and it was not apparent.

you get them at lowes or home depot they are 1"x1" and have a sticky back to them and a spot for a zip tie, they are in the electrical with all the wire ends

I put to eye loops and wrapped the cords nicely and zip tied it to the roof of the inside of the yak very clean. I did steal the idea from someone dont know who.

I have them as well I have been shocked at how they have held for two plus years

ahhh... pretty straight forward.

Guys, thank you for taking the time to answer my question! 

Goldcoastcaster thanks for the complement on my T13 the small stick-ups I used are 1/2 x 1/2 I got them at Ace-hardware and like EWB said I to am surprised there are still hanging in there. I did wipe the area down with alcohol be for sticking it to the hall. I would not use them for the transducer cable use the eye loops like RHYAK said. Good luck on your project its all good .
