Scotty Kayak Stabilizers

Easy to install and very effective. Maybe lacks the flair I'm used to adding to my own DIY projects, but they are rugged and a game changer for anyone who wants to be able to stand and fish! Plus the Well Nuts are pretty awesome fasteners to have for all kinds of kayak projects. You can find these Scotty products and more here; http://scotty.com/ Pelican Kayaks and more; https://www.pelicansport.com/us_en/products/kayaks Thanks to my sponsors and my Patreon supporters and YOU for watching! Sharing my life on the water is the best job I've ever had! And sharing it in real life is now a dream come true as well. You can find my new location on Google Maps by searching Zoffingers. We are located at 1510 River Drive Bldg A, Ruskin Florida 33570 Hope to see you here someday.

I’ve had the older version of these for years. I always wondered if the flexing at the boat mount would cause problems but years later still no issues, but I also don’t use them very often. I use them in the spring and fall in Northern Ontario when the water temperature will Kill you if you go overboard.

Well nuts are quick and convenient...but also a pain in the ass should they be attached to something that needs to be removed. Once squished long term, they deform and don't like to come out. Also, any corrosion (which will happen) makes them just spin with the fastener when you try to turn it out. Many of my motorcycles over the years have used them, and I've cursed each one at some point or another! Great vid, Marty!

Another good episode Marty !!! Nice pontoons for getting the standing stability one may be afraid to attempt, if bigger...At 280 lbs. I think I couldn't be more confident ....Thanks for the tip !!! Just a reminder...Being well nuts are rubber you may need in the future to replace them if they dry rot....especially around sun,salt or brackish water...Outside of that they're great fasteners....

Would mounting the floats near the middle of the kayak work just as well? Looks like paddling around all day would suck with them creating more drag. I also wouldn't be able to reach out to unmount them in the back of my kayak, while in the water.
Kayak Chris
Kayak Chris - 5 years ago
I've been using well nuts on my kayak installations for 4 years now. They come in real handy for anchor trolley installs or any install where the spot is hard to reach to fasten an interior nut. You have to be careful though, do NOT use silicone or the nuts will spin when you go to tighten them. Also, when you drill the hole make sure it is a true and tight fit. If the well nut isn't snug then it doesn't fasten and hold as well.

Scotty makes great stuff! I had one of their transducer mount with a large Lorene transducer on my inflatable boat. I drove my boat at 8 mph and noticed a lot of splashing on the side of the boat, I learned it was the transducer mount that I forgot to raise before speeding up. It did not break!

Not a very good design at all. If you have a kayak with softer plastic the drilling points will snap or crack easily. Especially the outriggers are so extended so far out from the hull. The hobie or some others ones are way better, with a solid meta bar right across the hull not separating like Scotty does.

Cup & Cone

Same experience for me when used in a high UV area (Florida and outdoor storage)... The rubber cracks after a while and they fail, or they dry out and lose grabbing strength. Sometimes tightening them works, but once the rubber goes, they're basically done. Long trifold rivets are only thing that I've had long term success with. Screws are unless you can get a nut behind them.

Cool stabilizer kit and another great video Marty. I use the well nuts for mounting every heavy duty item to my kayak.

I went to Lowe's and bought some 10-20 S/S machine screws 1 1/2" long for the thickest mounts.

Scotty wellnuts must just be something that's gone under your radar for a while now, because I've been using them for attaching Scotty and other accessories on my kayaks and canoe for almost 8 years now. I agree with you -- they are great! And they last (8 years and counting).

+Cup & Cone I'm in Northern Virginia and NE Florida. My kayaks and canoe are stored in the garage (up in the ceiling) at both locations. I've only used the genuine Scotty wellnuts, purely because I couldn't find any other source for them. The only thing Lowes or Home Depot had that was similar were aluminum. The Scotty ones are rather pricey, but maybe it's for a reason?
Cup & Cone

Just out of curiosity, what part of the country/world do you live, and where/how do you store your boats? I barely got two years out of the rubber well nuts I tried (I think I got them from Lowe's or McMaster). Stored in shaded and covered outdoor, but high UV coastal FL panhandle.

Marty, I've used those type of fasteners in the automotive industry for over 10 years. The biggest thing I can recommend to make them any better is a small dab of anti-seize to the bolts/screws before putting them in place. Small one time use packets are available at auto parts stores as are larger multi use bottles. The two most common ones are silver and copper, I personally recommend the copper, slightly higher in cost but well worth it in durability. Keep up the videos, when I see the notification it's the first thing I go to.

I put the hard foam stabilizers on my Cuda 14 years ago and love them. They will slow the yak down considerably, limit your range and fatigue you early so when I'm getting from point A to B I take them off. I reinstall them when I get to point B. I sight fish the flats in the Mosquito Lagoon with these often.

Plus you have access to the inside of the hull "front and rear"of the Cuda 14 through the hatches. I used stainless bolts and lock nuts with flat washers to mount the rod holder mounts.
RetiredGuy Adventures
RetiredGuy Adventures - 5 years ago
That's exactly what I do in the Mosquito Lagoon here in Florida with my Cuda 14. I use the hard foam stabilizers. They will slow you down and tire you out so I take them out and re-insert them once I have reached the area I want to fish. I am going to change out the rod holder mount to the Scotty "241L" quick release rod holder mount for easier connect/disconnect. I have also found that when it gets a little rough the rod holder that the stabilizer is connected to will sometimes come loose from the mount with the older style non-locking "241" rod holder mount. I believe the locking feature of the 241L rod holder mounts will eliminate this issue. If you have a problem standing in your Cuda 14 as I do you will love using stabilizers!

Florida is pretty loosy goosy with their safety laws. You don't have to wear a helmet on a motorcycle. And you only need to have a pfd with you and easily reachable on a vessel. It is not required to be wearing one on a boat or kayak. Unless you are under a certain age or are on a jet ski. And if you're on a jet ski, you have a whole different set of problems. Haha.

I'm pretty sure that Hobie have a similar thing to those well nuts. Whether they work the same or no is another matter and to be honest, having seen how they work on that piece of plastic, you just sold me on them! I dont care that they probably cost a ton more than a simple stainless screw, they waterpproof the hole and that HAS to be the #1 consideration on a yak! Even if all you want to add is a couple of pad eyes, then not having that worry for the first few trips that you may not have created a water tight seal is worth its weight in gold to me. Thanks for bringing these to our attention Marty. I have paused the video and am going looking for some right now!!
On another note, I have a PA14 (2015 edition) and the hand rail - which is pretty useless and even dangerous when trying to re-enter a yak you've just been tipped out of - would seriously get in my way when adding stuff like those stabilisers. Not that I "need" stabilisers on a 38" wide yak, but the moment I saw them, I thought "Trampoline".... I sail my PA14 at times and having a stabiliser or two which I could stretch a waterproof or mesh screen accross would certainly add to the fun of it.
And here is where I'd like to pitch you another idea for a future video, Marty. How about showing us how to completely fit a new seat??? Not the chair, an actual "normal" kayak cloth seat. Sure, that chair is lovely and comfy, but on open water when that wind changes unexpectedly for the worst and you're being tossed around, having my butt firmly planted on the deck would be much more preferrable. Even when sailing my kayak, I would prefer to be that much lower down as those extra few inches added to the centre of gravity can make a massive difference as to whether I'm likely to be going in the sea before the day is out :)
Thanks again mate and keep up the fantastic work!!

I have the Hobie Sidekicks. The bar came with wellnuts. You are supposed to screw them in by hand after drilling holes. I have the beach chair on my Revo. I have it set in the lowest potion when I use the sail. I'm going to try to use a Sea Eagle inflatable seat just for the fun of it. It probably will be too high.

Seen and used them before. Sometimes a backing plate helps me with offshore fishing to make sure there will be no failures. The floats look to be pointed "outwards". This will slow the kayak down just a little.

Thanks for the video. I love all the videos you put out. Very informative and fun. The fasteners seem awesome as well as the scotty stabilizers. Keep the videos coming!

Those air stabilizers are just not a good investment in the long run

I don't think you have to worry about the long run. They look like the higher end Pontoon fishing pontoons. The one I had was tough as nails, scraped it on rocks, and much worse. never had a problem

I'm sure they'll have replacement pontoons, and if they last 5 years then you got your money's worth.

Hey zoffinger, I'm looking to purchase my first pelican but right before purchasing it I had somebody tell they are produced as a 2-3 piece kayak. He apparently purchased one and had it come apart while he was in it. Whatams your opinion? Is there a problem with it being multi piece, or did he just have a bad experience?

yes they are used often in auto body industry. bad part is if they get any corrosion they will not come back out. DO MORE FISHING.

could help. just don't get it on the rubber anchor and they will hold just fine.

Would putting a very lite layer of marine grease effect how they screw in and hold?

Been using the Scotty Well Nuts on all of my kayaks for a while now and love them. Very Strong and very water tight!!

Kristopher Larcom, ... yep, same here, but I used them waaaay before I started kayaking, ... lol! Not sure who the manufacturer is/was, ... but it wasn’t a Scotty product, ... although maybe they purchased the manufacturing rights to the concept, ...

If I recall the Heavy Hobies use them. I remember modifying mine and found some factory installed. You're right, they are awesome and easy to use. Plus they are water tight for the most part.

Never heard of them. One thing I do know is its time to replace my PVC & boat bumpers stabilizers to these stabilizers

(Edit) Sn Marty have you ever thought of doing kayak charters?
