My Latest Hobie Revo Mod - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Yes - PVC

$3.00 worth of parts and some spare schedule 40 1/2" PVC - the mounting plate is an old plastic cutting board I used to use for cutting up fish.

The pipe did go all the way to the bottom of the mast tube but it was way too long so now it only goes in about 3-4". The unit was a little long for storing easily for going and coming in the surf - now, works just fine.

I put an o-ring on the post up near the top where it touches the top of the mast tube so it helps keep it from moving - the post is snugged up with some black electricians tape at the top and the bottom of the post so it's fairly tight but goes in and comes out easily. Borrowed the design from all the others I've seen.
