I'm there with ya on simple. The cam straps seemed an easy, but bullet proof way to have a grip for the tank. Kinda a bitch to undo and stay dry, but I've got to slide off the boat to scuba, so they seemed an OK idea.
It's nice hearing the drive may not be a worry.
I suppose a key is not launching at Zuma in a heavy shore break!  |
Kayaks are tapered to stay hydrodynamic. Depending on where you wrap the straps, combined with moving forward, being wet and hulls being generally pretty smooth, there is a good chance the straps won't hold when wrapped all the way around. You would need to use ratchet straps or the equivalent which isn't advised since it can jeopardize the integrity of the hull around the scupper areas.
