who is going so far? will check aa route but think it is a fair trip from me

Yeah. everyone seems to be getting brighter lights. Used that as had it but was planning on making one with old head torch battery pack and maybe a switch on bottom! Will do for the moment though

Turned out ok after much swearing and cursing Pic quality not too good though

ah! I got one of them! You can get them at any chandlers! Probably be cheaper for you to shop online and get best price or visit local chandler! thought you were on about the other ones that are left and right thingys

See if I can pop to other local chandlers and see if they got some! If they have I will buy and post to you! are u after the same ones as me for anchor trolley system? the other chandlers by me was out of them.

sorted now thanks lots of 5mm metric one from local(ish) chandler Just wanted the 'official merchandise'!

got some bits spent over £20

wheres the fish? <*((((><

yep

Cheers Never actually been to Kelpies but I need to go to Tubolt Grainger tomorrow to collect boots for work Will have to visit Kelpies for official work business

Good reading! I especially like the 'cheesy' grins! You know who you are

I bought some from hook 1 thinking they were the right ones but they were too big Will get some 5mm metric tomorrow from chandlers Just thought would be prettier using the standard ones all round Nearlly finished kitting the p13 out... will post pics when completed

My p13s fixings are all pre moulded and every fixing simply screws out! Where can I get these bolts from? I want the correct ones not to damage the threads I have contacted Johnsom outdoors in USA and UK to no avail! anyone?

Interesting reading especially as I cannot swim very far! Dont think I will buy mini flares now either thanks, good info where do u work btw?

What he really means is Simon and him could be mistaken as twins

The only advice I would suggest is trying as many as you can before you buy! It comes down to personally preference IMO Yes the prowler 13 seems to be the best all-rounder but it is not as stable as the ocean drifter! I bought the drifter to begin with and it is an awesome kayak IMO as it is very stable and very comfy but for paddling the longer distances it is slow. I have now bought a prowler 13 as it is a better all rounder but if I had the choice I would keep the drifter too. If I was to upgrade I would get a dorado or a pelican. If you were nearer I would suggest trying both of my kayaks. hope this helps your decision

TPW has done a simple and effective system on his kayak! It all comes down to personal preference really I am going to make my own holders up front hopefully, if i ever get around to it

Gimbal Mount $23.99 Scotty Gimbal Mount to use with a Flush Mount Rod Holder

They are the things that go inside the standard kayak rod mounts behind the seat they take any scotty product I am sure they are gimbal mounts, must check...

I have got an Igloo marine coolbox to modify and kit out so I have bought lots of fixtures and fittings to do it. They always come in handy and are cheap enough! The trouble with rod holders is that there are so many options. I bought the powerlock ones and put in the footwell, however being a short ar*e I struggle to reach forward to put rods in. Would be better if i chop rod butt a little shorter I was thinking of getting some gimbal mounts and putting rod holders in them with a rod holder on coolbox when paddling decisions decisions

I ordered lots of different clips and some bungee, always come in handy to tie everything down and make leashes very cheap. I ordered some spare nuts and bolts too Depends on how you want to set-up your yak really

Hardware set E That is to mount in footwells or up front?
