In my introductory post I had some pictures of my trial outrigger system and some floats for use when my lovely wife is along for the trip. Those proof of concept pieces worked well but were cumbersome to mount and demount when we wanted to use the Yak. So a little ingenuity, some bits and pieces from Home Depot and some foam from eBay and the following is the result. The outriggers have sliding tubes and detent buttons that allow for snug up to the hull, middle out, and full out postions along with removal altogether. Just push a button and slide.
As well the float system was refined and plug ins made allowing the floats to be in an up out of the water position and a down in the water position. Otherwise the floats get beat up when launching and retrieving. The floats are also removable.
