SERIOUSLY? "1...2...3...4..."?
Sounds like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder... Just yanking your chain!
BUT SERIOUSLY... If anyone uses the undersized hole trick, use a heat gun to heat the hole and slowly press it in to avoid future stress cracks.

Can that rod holder securely hold a spinning reel? My wife doesn't do well with bait casters :) Thanks!

the rivet is more secure if you use a washer inside to spread the grip of the rivet

You GOOP police are crazy! The amount of water that will get into those holes is so small. Do you think he's gonna paddle his kayak upside down? A few drops of water is not going to sink your kayak!

True, but it also helps with the bond. Also let's face it, if your going to do something, do it right the first time. I never had time to do it right the second time. lol

Nice video ..... But with any marine install, marine silicone should have been used to ensure water tight seal ... But I am only looking for ideas on the best way to install a rod holder, I'll be sure to avoid the lack of sealing process

Most pop rivets you'll find at the local DIY shops are aluminum and they can easily become corroded/pitted over time due to salt/sun exposure. As with any other fishing gear, a thorough hosing will help minimize the effect. To really help mitigate the issue, buy longer rivets and some collared plastic/nylon sleeves to separate the washer from the rod holder. This eliminates any galvanic corrosion due to 2 different metals touching. Then cover the rivets/sleeves w/ a UV proof marine sealant

Are pop rivets waterproof with marine goop

erjeremy - 11 years ago
technically yes, however there are different style of kayaks for different types of waters. Sit on tops are usually anglers choice of kayak but sit in inside kayaks are used also by a lot of anglers.

soooo a dab of silicone on each screw head, and a thin smear around the back fo the fange is unnecessary? Then you choose a smaller hole saw and spend time gouging out the hole to make it bigger? :-/ Better tip: 1) use the right hole saw. 2) to get a snug fit afterwards... wrap a little tape around the mount until snug. 3) silicone to seal it. No project if worth doing half-assed. ;)

getting a cheap kayak soon from a big department store that starts with a D. the price got me in the game, i can't wait! i'll have to mod it just to get it up to par though. rod holder is a perfect first step. wouldn't a pvc pipe be a good enough holder. not sure what the fuss is about.
petcatznz
petcatznz - 12 years ago
I'd silicone seal it as a precaution. Once water enters the 'sealed' hull cavity of a sit on kayak it's going to be there for a very long time! It never ceases to amaze me how much water can find its way into the smallest cavity or fissure over time.

i still would have put silicone sealant underneath the flush mount especially since he didnt wipe off the plastic pieces left over from drilling the hole lol

Are rod holders normally installed behind the seat? I have a tandem sit on top kayak. I am outfitting the rear seat (my seat) for fishing. I was thinking of putting the rod holder ahead of me, but out of range of my paddles. I have not decided if I will put it on the right side or the left side. Advice? I have the Scotty flush mount and the Scotty powerlock rod holder.

Can someone explain why almost all the kayak rod holders are mounted BEHIND the angler? I would think you'd want it mounted in front of you, not angling away from your back? The only thing I could think of is that it would allow you to sort of troll your bait. Any clarification? Thanks. Nice vid.

I would silicone seal that thing in there and prevent that drop or 2 of water entering the hull.... Its a no brainer really !!

@hondaryder1994 Check out our episode named 'How To Choose the Best Fishing Kayak'. That should narrow things down for you.
KayakFishingTales
KayakFishingTales - 14 years ago
@nickwklassen Sure... if you seal it with silicone it will be ultra water tight. There's nothing wrong with doing that at all. I don't because it's one more (messy) step, which I believe is totally unnecessary. All you're preventing is a drop or two of water from entering your kayak (if that).

A small bead of silcon or goop will give you a better seal, but if you do it the way I said there is very little if any leakage anyway.
kennarly
kennarly - 14 years ago
Why would you use marine goop if you didn't have to? It's GOOP! With that logic, you could argue that plastic welding is the only reasonable solution. But... if you would rather put oversize holes in your kayak, which you then have to seal with GOOP... that's your biz.
jermlac
jermlac - 14 years ago
why would you not use marine goop? it's like $3 for a tube that will cover any holes you ever want to put on your kayak? 3 stars for poor advice.

Right on Jim, Jim I have a question about using and not using some sort of glue with the rivots and or screws. Now I know it's my choice but i've seen alot of vid's and there using glue glue glue. I'd rather save the money. Could share your thoughts on my question? Nice yak I have a trident 15 angler being shipped right now to via Bass pro shops. Can't wait. First one. Good video Jim. Thank You Randy
