Jaycar is a little cheaper for batteries. Don't forget you'll need a suitable charger too. We fried a couple of batteries before we got a smart charger (left them charging for too long).

If you don't want to mount it on the side, some people make mounts out of PVC pipes to stick in the cup holder

or I've seen others that mount theirs on a length of broomstick that is inserted into the mast hole.

here's the way I've done mine. easy, no drill and cheap.

use a scotty mount that fits straight into the mast hole.

Hey Runty!

You will have a ball on the Yak! I love getting my PA out, although of late it has been far too long between peddles!

[Bommie]

have you got a battery sorted yet?????

[Runty66]

have you got a battery sorted yet?????

yep, everything is done. just need to mount it somewhere

THANKS FOR THE GREAT IDEAS!

i was thinking putting a broom stick down the sales mount then putting a bit of wood across the yak. then the fish finder ontop, so that i can take it on and off when i travel

[Surfingant]

I reckon just spend the little bit extra and get the mount from Hobie, it'll be a much neater and easier end result.

I vote this yak be knowen as POOP SHOOT

It is based in that area, its the right colour and the first time a citycat/ferry or one of Kreels mates in a large cruiser zooms past runty there will be plenty of shooting going on

Runty and HMS Biggy

Although there is some charm in Her Majesty's Ship Poop Shoot

Mod Note

Back on topic now thanks people. Enough with the school boy antics. AFO is not a willing participant in petty personal clashes.

[Runty66]

Thanks everyone for the ideas!

ended up cutting up a old fishing rod and sticking it the sail mount with duck tap around the bottom so it is in tight.

I can move it around 360 is i wanted to but it is tight enough so it doenst move round when im yakkin :side:

It is also very easy to pull on and off when putting on the roof. No holes drilled so i am very happy with the efforts

Kreel is good at the naming of yaks, sure you don't want us to get involved? We did such an outstanding job with Keen-as-fisho's yak
