How to Install a Flush Mount Rod Holder

Submitted by kayakfishingstuff on Fri, 01/30/2009 - 14:30

Items Needed:

  1. A flush mount rod holder
  2. Screws
  3. Sealant (Unless the rod holder comes with a gasket)
  4. Drill
  5. Screwdriver

Instructions:

  1. Here we are using a straight flush mount rod holder but the procedure is the same for either straight or angled.
  2. Use the base of the rod holder to draw a circle.
  3. Cut out the circle. You can use the drill bit, jig or hole saw, or a dremel® tool. I use a jig saw.

Installing an A-hatch

Submitted by kayakfishingstuff on Fri, 01/30/2009 - 14:28

So you want to mount a hatch in a kayak. Its not hard. Just a bunch of simple steps. Frst make sure the surface area is clean.

Place the template on the kayak and trace with a magic marker.

Now you have a tracing to make cutting the area out.

Use a drill to punch a hole in the kayak and then use a jig saw to cut the insert out.

At this stage I like to take out a sanding block and debur the edge and rough up the surface where the silicone is going to go. This will
allow it to adhere better.

Installing an Internal Pulley System

This is a great way to better use the storage available in kayak hatches. It is especially good in Cobra's due to their large 10" center hatches but it will work with any easily accessible hatch.

I have a Aquaterra 13’ Big Kahuna S.O.T. kayak. I like to fish in the ocean and we have a lot of big sharks around here in South Fl. and I don’t want to be IN THE WATER with one that has an attitude from a hook in his mouth. So I came up with a set of outriggers that have worked super for the last six years. I can sit on the side of the yak if I’m snorkeling and not tip over , I could probably stand up in it but I don’t know what for unless I wanted to fly cast.

Prowler Hatch Installation

Submitted by kayakfishingstuff on Fri, 01/30/2009 - 14:15

The OK Prowler comes set up for a 6" hatch. Chef Mike told me that a friend of his had put an 8" in there. He then sent me a link where Johnny Ceviche put the 8" hatch in. So yesterday I took advantage of the 55 degree temps and outfitted our Prowler. Part of the outfitting was to put an 8" hatch in. It fits perfectly and I highly reccomend it. This hatch is only an inch smaller then the one in the Cobras. It has a bag and will allow the setup of an internal pulley system.
