Tha Kayak Trolley I made  The trolley in use, It sits in the rear Drain Holes  The tarpon ready for action It can now hold up to 8 rods, now that's Extreme Fishing.  My home made Anchor system.  AView from the rear with the best knife I have owned and it will cut through rope like butter.  Just some basic rod leashes using a bit of elastic cord with a carabiner.  the rear box loaded with the Flares, First Aid Kit and most important tackle box.  |

Nice job! Not sure about the trolley though, I personally don't like the idea of putting anything other than bungs into the scupper holes for fear of damaging them. Good work non the less!

I agree with Jimbob be carefull with the scuppers. Have you thought about doing a re entry drill with your rod holders in place. Obviously you have a better perspective on their position then we will have from the photos. But great work.

Its made of 2mm Aluminuim coverd in 3 coats of primer with 2 top coats of Battle ship grey my concoction, well as i'm a painter only the best will do.
the rubber tubing is old garden hose.
the rings are stainless and the rod holders are pluming pipe

Hi Deanno nice job well thought out.......as regard to the trolley i have reinforced both scupper holes with some poly drain pipe and silicone sealant ......i have just recently altered my trolley to bring it further foreward so as to reduce the amount of "Nose weight" so making the front end much lighter to pull along ....all the heavier equip is placed in behind the trolley to act as a counter weight.......Dave  |
