Post subject: | Help! Hobie Anchor Trolley installation problem |
I've searched and not found my problem addressed. I'm trying to install the Hobie Anchor Trolley on my 2014 Sport. The bolts for the cheek blocks require a washer and locknut on the inside of the boat. Not a problem in the bow, but can't access the stern since the Sport doesn't have a rear hatch. Can anybody suggest a remedy? What kind of screws could I use? THX !!! |

I would suggest what is called a wellnut. But in anycase, here is a great video runs you through the various options https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWHpGhjtUs |

What a great video ! Thanks Mahi. I finally got it completely installed this afternoon after much fussing and ordering new parts and starting and stopping. I ended up using both wellnuts and 3/16" tri-fold rivets. And replaced some self tapping screws from older installs with rivets. And added a zigzag cleat. What prompted the install was I hooked a Goliath Grouper last December in the Keys....and was using an anchor trolley. Going down again next month for some bonefish. |

Nice work DCR! Setting my kayak up with all that type of thing was all part of the fun and very satisfying when finished. Wow a goliath grouper that would have been awesome! Good luck with the bonefish ![]() |
