If you want to add drainage. Put the corner of a plastic coat hanger between the scupper and the nut.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/08/10/ehytaqer.jpg Fiberglass handle from a clearance hoe, two chair feet, nylon strapping secured with gorilla glue. Gaff and fish billy in one. |
Anybody ever use a boogie board or similar for more storage?
One of my biggest issues when on my yack is having to reach around (Yes I realize I'm opening myself up to a terrible joke there), behind me to grab stuff off the back of my yak. I have Menieres diseas (It's an inner ear thing that effects my balance), and I occasionally get a little light headed or dizzy when I have to lean back or reach back behind me on my yack.
So I was wondering if anybody ever took a boogie board and tied it off on the side of their yack to use as a place to hold tackle, or even a bait tank? Just curious. Thanks guys! This is one of the most helpful forums on the internet. |

Homemade gaff with bike hook and pool cue stick
I made a homemade gaff that I hope will work after going to west marine and thinking the cheapest gaff at $45 was too expensive. So I bought a rubberized bicycle storage hook from Home Depot, stripped off the rubber, mounted it to a broken cue stick and grinded down the tip to make a point. Hope it works!
Rubberized hook: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...867facf70c.jpg Stripped of rubber: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...597ceaec82.jpg Screwed into cue stick (it fit perfectly, just unscrew the bottom half and screw this into the top): http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...fc910ef526.jpg Ground down to a point with a Dremel: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...9d46fd603b.jpg And finished off, it's decently sharp, I might sand it down a bit more: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c1...4ca0714e99.jpg I'll probably add a handle at some point as well |

Come on!!! That's so....Two thousand and ten!!! I remember that box...looks like too much trouble to make and maintain...not sure if anybody uses transducer boxes like that anymore... Try the electrical putty method...seems like from what people say it works. You don't like that then just goop it. You don't like that drill a hole..You don't like that, then buy a kayak that's lowrance ready. |

I used the electrical putty when I installed my HDS-5 transducer and so far its held up better than I expected. My kayak has traveled in heat upside down many times and the transducer has yet to fell off or get loose. |
