The best way to set up an accessory utilizing the sail mast hole on a Hobie is with a Ram-Ball.
Ram now makes a Ball Mount with a wedge fit in 1" or 1.5" that inserts directly into the Sail Mast Hole. look here--> http://www.ram-mount.com/mount/ram_kayak_mount.htm and click on "BASES " Product Number: RAP-354U and Product Number: RAP-B-354U Last edited by Billy V; 09-02-2008 at 12:39 PM. |

My personal issue with this setup is that your paying some dough for a great base but your still running lines up and over the hatch through an already not so tight water seal or your drilling into the hull to pass the lines through This is my design Using the sail mast receptacle However I detached the original base and crafted a double pivot base with a transducer wire pass through Hope this is helpful None of the pieces are glued down especially the cap Sometimes you might need to take a section off to more easily pass the wire The whole assembly goes into the sail mast receptacle including the pass through wires Just 1. 1 2ft piece of 1/2 PVC 2. 1 four-way T 3. 4 90deg elbows 4. a 1/2 cap -drilled 5. 4 spare sections of 1/2 pvc l(like 2 in maybe each) 6. 4 in or so piece of 1/2 in pvc MikeG.
