Has anybody installed Scottie 302 Kayak Stabilizers on the PA?
Is there another companies product that has been installed and proved effective?
I know from past threads that the Hobie Sidekick is not for a PA.
I am still interested in outriggers and do not want to turn this into a DIY half solution.

How about "lashing together" 2 PA's sided by side, about 2 feet apart :idea:
Think about how much you can carry and still have fun :wink:

Those are the Spring Creek Outriggers. I like them as there is no chance of me putting a hole in them with a hook and they are more stable. I got them because i wanted to sail it but have never sailed and wanted the added confidence they provide. I have been out in big water and i can kick them out or put em out really easy. I can stand up without them but in rougher water i still pop up and get a better view of whales or try and spot the tuna busting the bait. They are more expensive (close to $400) but to me it was well worth it as they are built well and the install takes a bit of planning and pay attention to reaching the underside but very doable. Good luck!

Spring Creek stabilizers look substantial and certainly should do the job. Do they provide significant drag during peddling?

Has anyone tried the Stand-N-Fish outriggers? They can be lifted out of the water for peddling. They, Stand-N-Fish, told me that they have sold them to PA owners. I wonder where they installed them relative to the seat and what they think of them- ease of install, use on the water, stability when standing, etc.
