Rigging pics especially for Kayakkarma

[richi]

Here are the pics that you wanted Kayakkarma,in this first one you can see the position I have fitted my Scotty rod holders

 

 

one tip I will add is that they are a lot stronger if you make backing plates for the inside of the hull from plastic cutting board

 

 

I use a coolbox rather than a crate and have removed the bungees from the rear tankwell and replaced them with straps

 

 

since the first photo I have updated my fishfinder for a dual humminbird set up,Transducer is fitted inside the hull with sicaflex

 

 

here she is in all her glory

 

 

Was at Bournemouth canoes today with Paintfly.Had quite a long chat with Simon---had a look at the Malibu X factor and a few others from the Malibu range,they are not for me though,I love my Prowler and I'll bet you will yours too,right from the first minute you see it.Roll on Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my version of Richi's idea. I used 3 straps: 2 front, 1 at the back (attached to a shackle at the rear carrying handle), to hold the box in place. Shortened the bungies and stretched them around, which still gives a bit of protection for lunch/tackle boxes in the space at the front and provides extra points to hook in paddle leashes etc. Used one of the redundant bungy buttons for the cool box lid fastener (also nicked one of the many surplus pad eyes the P13 has for the fixing at the hinge). Waste pipe attachments usually carry my nav light at the rear and landing net, front. But I find these so handy for all sorts of things, I'll probably put one on each corner.

Thanks for the info Paintfly, plenty to think about. Hope to catch up with yourself and Richie one day.
