What stuff do you need to mount Poly?
I saw KK's kayak the other day, man that's one big arse yak, you could spend $1000s fitting that out.

[poly]

Fed, 2 rod holder forward, for trolling to start with, then whenI get a sounder I will need a mount for that plus possum thinks a safety flag would be a good idea as the yaks are dark green in color and very low profile

Paul

P.S. the yaks are Hobie quest's at 13ft in length

Had my yak for a year and a half poly, still tinkering. So far have added sounder, 2 extra rod holders(have 2 at the sides and 2 rear for trolling/storage), extra bungy straps at side for rod storage, larger rear hatch for battery, home made mount for 55lb electric, cord and clips for rods.

Spend a bit of time on the water fishing and you will soon sort out what you need to take and where it is convenient to have it close to hand.

Poly. I would suggest the first thing you add to it is the flag, as jason said, use it a couple of times and you will work out where to fit everything.
Those accessories look tempting, but don't get sucked into buying stuff you will never use.
How easy is it to gain access to inner panels for fastening nuts onto bolts ?, don't use screws.

So you don't have to paddle Poly, KK's Yak will take a sail but it's got me beat how they work without a keel unless you can only go downwind with them.

What do you do if you fall over, can you get back in or do you have to go to the shore & start again.

I have to say it's not my kind of boating.

How do you pee, I think standing up would tricky and shooting over the side from a sitting position although funny would surely be a disaster. What about the Missus? YIKES! Secret Women's Business.

As far as your deck fittings go I'd wait until I'd used it quite a few times before screwing on any extra junk aside from the safety flag, I'd even try & jury rig that for a while.

Fed this is one way to fit a motor but it may be a bit on the expensive side

the vorter dx3 would be much cheaper at $239au but how to fix it to the yak that is the question

[Fed]

Did you watch the video of the rudder mounted vorta? Go for it I say.

[poly]

Now I see it Poly, they have drop down keels so they can tack into the wind.
