Bought a new Moken 12 Angler, yellow with red flecks.
First thing i did was to remove one of the front flush mounts and fit a scottie base plate.
There is a hole where the flush mount was so a solid blanking plate was put directly under the scottie. The origional screw holes were drilled out for 6mm bolts and another blanking plate fit inside the hull to prevent the scottie being pulled out when under pressure.
The next job was to fit my Garmin 140.
There is a recess in the hull but the 140 mount is too big so i fit a base plate. This was rivited to the hull and another bigger plate fit using plastic screws.
A gland was also fit and the hull drilled for the cables to be passed through.
The gap between the top plate and the hull was sealed with a rubber grommit (spacer)
The cables had been cut and rejoined indide the battery box and the transducer was stuck down to the hull using silicone.
The console box can be opened without touching the fish finder
The finished project- scottie and garmin140
Next project - anchor trolley
2 Harken cheek blocks and a zig-zag cleat bought from H2o.
Decide where the front block is giong and mark the kayak.
The holes in the blocks were carefully drilled out to 5mm so a rivit could be used as you cannot reach inside ti fit a nut and bolt.
The hull is drilled and the block rivited on.
The rear block can be fit using nuts and bolts. I fit this in the recess for the carry handles so it wouldnt hinder a re-entry.
Next thing was to reduce the width of the zig-zag cleat so it would fit without overhanging the edge of the flat face.
The holes were marked and drilled to suit and fit using nuts and bolts.
Fit the rope and quick release carabina and the job is done.
The zigzag holding the anchor rope
The cleat can also hold the anchor trolly rope to stop it working its way back up the kayak.
Job done.

Please tell me I've not missed a trick, you have cut the cables, haven't you?
