I use Scotty Rocket Launchers with the friction disc additions for endless adjustment to the angle instead of the built in notches. I use the flush deck mount models on my Hobie Revo 13 and use the same on my Malibu X Factor using different mount on the deck. The Scotty mount can let you aim the launcher in any direction or raised angle you prefer. I had Ram ball mount launchers on a Jackson Cuda 14 and they could never hold their position no matter how hard I could righten them. The rocket launcher are super easy to lift the rod out of. Here are some picture I found that show the locations on both kayak to give you an idea of area close to you. I prefer the deck flush base model. I used the above surface base on the Malibu because I already had those and didn't want to spend any extra $.
