Dr. SteelheadCatcher, thanks for the heads up. I was able to crop the photo and zoom in. Looks like they attach to 2 of the 3 hooks that come pre-installed on the back of the 17t. Then, using straps, they hook to the rear H bar handle.

How/where do you recommend securing the H Crate to a 17t? Would love to hear from any 17th owners who have an H crate. Thanks. |

The 17t has some mounts on the back part of the kayak. I noticed that the outside mounts are slightly angled. Are these used for a certain purpose? I am thinking of using those to secure the H Crate, but I don't think it would be wise to leave the other two corners of the crate unsecured to anything. That being said, I think the rear corners of the 17t are hollow. How hard would it be to add the same mounts to the back of the kayak? Looking for options here. Thanks. |

If you scroll through these photo's, http://www.hobiecat.com/mirage/mirage-pro-angler-17/ where the guy is standing on his seat "poling" in shallow water, it shows a crate mounted on the very aft of the PA-17....I think it's the new Hobie crate and it's secured to the aft carry handle. As noted, it will not fit in the area behind the aft seat....only room for a large trolling motor battery or a "soft bag" to carry extra tackle, etc, etc. Check it out..... |

Nice crop job! Did you also notice the location of the live well....just in case you were thinking about one? |

Yup, a live well would be nice. But that is down the road for me. I enjoy fishing plastics more. |
