What are people using to secure fixtures to the Aka Bars. Is there anything ready available to fit the diameter of the Aka Bars |

I have some Marine Ply and want to make some "rigid" skinny tramps. Probably about 1ft width. I figure 30cm width. Will make a useful "baiting up area" and potentially a place to mount a fishfinder with no mods to the yak itself. If succesful I want to look at the option of an outboard as in the motormount thread as an option on calm days in the estuary. Thinking of fixing with U type bracket with a machine part to spread the pressure on the bar (home made for the job or purchased if there is something suitable). |

How bout somthin like this? Couple wraps of velcro or bungees is all that's required. You can screw as many mounts/accessories to this as you want. Motor mounting, though, is a whole different deal. |

Hi Pav. I've been using Stauffs for camera mounts etc and they work well however they are not quick release. http://www.au.stauff.com/index.php?id=1423 They are available at most hydraulic suppliers like Parker, Enzed, Pirtek ( if you're in Australia ) There was another rubber clamp that was a quick connect that was posted by someone a while back. It was sold in boating places and I have searched the threads for it but can't seem to find the details. Does anyone remember ? |

They look ideal. I will borrow the idea of the plastic downpipe to locate onto the bars. I plan to have a baiting up area / and fit the fishfinder. Will post back what I make. Thanks. |

Yes- you can just cut some PVC pipe to do this. I would glue/screw a little closed-cell foam or neoprene padding strips in there, to protect your Aka paint and keep things quieter for fishing. |
