See the two little screws? Thats what will keep it from slipping on the rail.

How do you plan on putting a rail on anyway?

I don't have any Scotty rail mounts right now, I do have RAM rail mounts though. Either one is very secure.

Ice, We have these in Stock. Remember Roy showed them to us up at OR. I will make sure Brent brings you some.


Also Scotty has a Composite Track coming out, YakAttack has also released their new lower priced track, the GT90SL (in 6 colors).





Another option for rail mount would be to do a Gear Track on the rail, we have these in stock as well and can send up to SSB....

On a Trident I would just put some GT90's, no rail. Keep everything low and clean!
