The cutting board simply lays flat, CP. The spoiler is stronger than I feared, apparently, because it doesn't sag a bit when I lower the 'yak onto it.

Fine tuned livewell

Thought I would share this fix for the hobie livewell. I have about 2 years on this fix with no problems other than the screen getting clogged once and a while.

The check valve disperses the flow witch helps keep the bait from getting jammed in the corner. Also keeps water + scales from flowing back and getting jammed in the impeller when it gets shut off.

The screen keeps the crud out.

Cheap and easy kelp line/ tail line



I simply hook the carabiner to my anchor trolley and put the loop around kelp and tighten also can be used for a tail line on bigger fish or sharks....this taut line knot is the key because you can put heavy load on the knot and still simply move it... Video blow shows the knot

Watch "How to Tie a Taut Line Knot" on YouTube

reel covers

not my original idea but didn't see anybody post it yet. They work great especially for the bigger reels

Hobie Outback storage hatch liner

Hobie wants $60 for their Outback hatch liner.
I purchased a ROUND tub at Walmart for $3.92.
Cut it down and it works perfectly.

OK so I have had a few people pm me on here from my other post about my t15 looks like people want to know what kind of wheels I'm using for my kayak yes they are purple but I don't care if I come across black ones I'll swap them out...

I had the idea to use power wheels "wheels" after seeing the price of other sand tires.. I knew I needed something with a big footprint so when I was cleaning the backyard I notice my daughters power wheel was just sitting there getting ruined we lost the charger and it was pretty much junk so I asked her if I could have them, she said yes..and that's all there is to it..I'm not going to go into details on how to make a cart there are plenty of YouTube videos for that I just use big PVC pipe power wheel wheels and a pool noodle. I will upload better pictures when I get back into town..



And yes they work great on the sand as long as your kayak isn't too heavy or overloaded.. I don't even need to strap it to they kayak just put the cart by the cockpit and y'all should be good
This guy sells em for 15 for two
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb...735393213.html

OK I was able to locate so bigger and wider big wheel tires my other ones worked good these should be great

If you don't have wheels you can pick them up pretty cheap on eBay, I think I paid less than $15 for a set including shipping.

Broken pool cue. Not as nice as the shovel handle but already laminated and heavy/hard.

Add on to the stealth 12.

Grabbing extra poles are easy from the stock rear holders, But being a short person I had problems reaching my extra poles, net or gaff from the stock front pole holders. The 2012 has threaded inserts behind the seat so with a piece of aluminum square stock screwed into them and four scotty mounts I fixed that problem. Now i can reach all my gear from behind me. this is what the finished product looks like.

Having four additional mounts without drilling any holes in the kayak makes it easy to change the layout when needed. This also makes it easy to remove if I were to sell it to someone that didn't want the extra mounts behind them. Also with the built in bait well I don't need to reach behind me for a bait bucket.

Had to redo PVC Rod holder on the yak. It works great and gives you back support.
