Lost my Mirage drive... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mirage drives are very easy to leash to your yak. Problem solved. I don't leave my drive in when landing on rocky beaches. I do some very rough Central Coast launches that would rip the crap out of a drive system. I made a drive mount on my Adventure by putting the main pin on the drive into the sail mount hole with the fins forward. I permanently attached 2 bungees with hooks (HOOK1) to strap the drive down. It looks like a factory drive mount.

I'll get a couple shots to post after work today. I went through my files and none of the pics show the modification clearly.

Well, i went snorkleing for about an hour today, no luck. I am hoping that the diver cert classes may find itat the edge of the canyon. I'll give it a week till i order another one.
