Should i cut a hole in a sit in kayak or use something else
175464
I mounted this in a 10ft sit in kayak. In my case it's mounted behind the cockpit and I use it just as a place to my fishing rod when heading to the area I want to fish. I mounted a Scotty adjustable rod holder in front of the cockpit that didn't need a hole or have anything hanging down to hit my legs.

It didn't work for my Kayak because of the angle. If I would have tried to put it where I needed it, it would have collided with the configuration of the Kayak seat and rear bulkhead.

Monkey hooks are designed to render pilot holes unnecessary. I'm not sure why you'd drill one. Is there a reason why you're thinking of using a pilot hole?

The hole isn't very fine. You'd be better off using a plastic bag with a very small hole in the corner, if you only need it as a one time use thing.

As you can see there are several hole combinations which should match up to what you need, you could go your local boat dealer and ask some question there.

it would take a pretty good hit to puncture the hull, ive hit stumps underway with no problems, although iam not going very fast, ikeep my boat in a garage to prevent sun ageing

should work fine. sit-on-top kayaks are generally less deep than sit in's so it is very certain to fit.

I would not use a two piece rod for trolling. I think the drag from the boat and the down planer may put to much stress on the joints

I attach mine from the side of the kayak and paddle just slow enough that water does not flow over top. trolling at the same time makes it worth it. When I need to paddle faster I pull it inside the kayak first.

Hi David,It would depend on thickness of the hull of the Kayak and what kind of material it's made of. I would recommend installing additional support inside, like an additional backing plate made of aluminum and I'd recommend using nuts and bolts instead oof pop rivets.

If you're just doing round overs then no, probably not. Plunge bases are great for safety reasons (protects the bit and your fingers), but mainly if you are using guide bushings, cutting mortises, dovetails, inlay, or alike - then I would definitely recommend it.

Only if your speaker mounting surface is less than 7 7/8 inches in diameter, and even then the cutter would have difficulty cutting through 5/4 anything very cleanly. As others have said. you'd need to cut halfway through on one side of the board, then flip it and cut the rest of the way through on the other, and even though that sounds simple the hole that results is seldom perfect. Try a hand held high quality jigsaw with a new sharp blade followed by a drill press-mounted drum sander to remove the saw marks, but practice on scrap first.

Lay it out flat. Fold from the rear towards the front. About a third of the way, fold both edges towards the center, to keep the kayak narrow enough to fit in the bag. As you get to the inside valve, take your time and try to push out as much air as possible. When you get past the second valve, fold the remaining part from the front towards the part you already have folded. Take your time - if you lean on the part you're folding, the air will find it's way out, but it might take a little time and pressure. Using this method, I'm always able to get the kayak back in the bag with lots of room left for the pump, seats, and fin. Lay it out flat. Fold from the rear towards the front.

Yes, you can do that, however, you still may have to add a few pumps of air before each use. It would be best to keep it indoors so that the varying temperatures or sunlight wouldn't effect the air pressure inside the kayak.

Depends on where you're going to to use the kayak. If it is not on white water, the long one should do just fine.Works nice for me.

Not a 100%, so I always use Shoreline Marine Goop Adhesive/Sealant when mounting anything to my kayak, just put a bead on every drilled hole and you should be good.

Just to be on the safe side, j heart,. consider it a fail safe, and use blanks ONLY. It could be your funeral otherwise. A live projectile will expand the golf ball and head you into a very bad day.

Must use concrete its cheap and easy to do. Why not do it right if your that far along. Make sure you followed the directions as far as the shape of the bottom of the hole. I guarantee if you dont use concrete it will be tipped over after little use.
