PA 12 and Outback new option - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

roadx · 08-25-2012, 07:17 AM

dimensions please, also i *think everyone is curious if the lip on the new bucket is sturdy enough not to drop through the open when it has a lot of weight in it. the outback deep bucket can be PITA.

And can you post pictures of the hatch installed on an outback.

jaws197 · 08-25-2012, 12:36 PM

Anxiously awaiting some more pics and info please? I would love to have this done to my outback!

And free install???

11X14 3/4 is the outer dimension. Once I install one in an Outback I'll post it up.

It will hold some weight.

size comparison this is the backing plate for the hatch.

As soon as I come up with an excuse to drop my outback off I'll be giving you a call.

ok..... whats the depth of the bucket ?

That's too cool,I've always wondered why they had the round hatch.I want one for sure.

I have two questions regarding the install on the outback, first the mirage drive tie down and pad eye loctated on either side of the round hatch, ae you going over them or off setting the hatch! It looks like the out side edge of the hatch will only cover half the threaded hole. Secondly, the round hatch has a lip on the rear 1/2" from the edge of the hatch rim. It looks like in the picture your stratling the lip, won't that leave a void under the hatch and not letting the hatch seal properly?

Andy...Does Brent have any of those buckets for the pa 12..???

Iceman · 08-27-2012, 04:01 PM

buckets are 5" deep, here is another angle to show you how it will sit. The new 2013 even have the 4 corners dimpled to show you where to drill out.

Brent does not have em Eric, but I can get you one.

The revo is not wide enough and the contour of the area where the round hatch is would not fit the hatch as its flat. You could however install it in the back length wise.
My concern with the conversion for the out back is the structural integraty of the top deck after you remove all the surface area

bbarton13 · 09-05-2012, 12:55 PM

i wonder if you would be able to put this hatch on the older pa 14. and get rid of the raised hatch?
