Great video. I applaud the fact that you use nuts and bolts and nut just screws. This is more secure. Tip: Use heat shrink to cover your paracord knots, instead of tape.

It might be better to super glue the knots and so no more worrying about it failings

The rod leash idea is brilliant. I am gonna upgrade my rod holders with them. Good thing about cheap kayaks is that they are so easily upgraded to what you want and it can be done cheaply.

Keep in mind zip ties break down in the sunlight, I would recommend replacing any ziptie exposed to sunlight at least once per year. Somebody already mentioned backing plates, another alternative is LARGE fender washers, available at hardware stores or big box lumberyard/home improvement stores.

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzread.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

I came across this as I was looking for some mod ideas to make our little dolphins a little more "fun", versatile, lake machines...as the broke mom, I found this quite sensible to do to save us from wanting something else that wont fit on my Aveo roof. Also appreciate the use of washers/rubber gaskets as the marine silicone is not budget friendly. lovin it, thanks for posting and giving me some confidence to drill into a perfectly good boat skin...eek!...lol. I got us those little dock rods instead of long rods because they fit inside the rig for car travel. (no large fish here)Mounted them with velcro tape... and put two mesh zippered school supply bags for small items on the inside (also with velcro tape), one on each side these are great for keys, radio/cell phone in a wet case, gum, sun lotion-another.. idea for you) all I need is a cup holder now bahaha...happy kayaking!

i added a short piece of bungee on the pad eyes front and back, with stainless pulleys from home depot (cheap and awesome) rather than run anchor chord thru the pad eyes. it acts as a shock absorber for choppy conditions and puts less stress on the pad eyes. also, i use stainless steel pad eyes from Austin kayak and canoe ( they also have pulleys and tons of great accessories) because i've snapped several nylon ones. do it right, do it once!

Common Stainless d-ring tie downs have the same spacing as the plastic deck eye fittings holding the original handles. I replaced mine, and have hauled up and down an 8 ft bank with no problems using them to drag it by.

I used marine sealant from our local Ace Hardware on the eyelets on the inside of my yak.
