Scotty rod holders

[jonnyboy]

Ok, so i am about to bang in an order to hook 1 for some scotty rod holders (the strength of the pound makes it sensless to buy them in this country - sorry bournemouth canoes!)

 

I want the power lock model (i think) but need to know which "hardware" kit to get with it. Do i want the taper screw kit or the the other one with washers and locking nuts etc.

 

Cheers for helping guys, pretty soon i'll have plucked up the courage to drill that first hole in my beloved yak!!!

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

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

Probably worth ordering a packet or two of the klamptite rivets. You never know when you might want to mount something somewhere you can't gain access from underneath. I used them for my RAM tubes just in front of the flush mounts.

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...
