Like when truing up a recumbent trikes front wheels.. measure the front of the rims (front of the float) and match that measurement to the rear of the wheel (rear of the float. Then measure the center of the front of the boat to the front of the float. (match it) That will give you parallel .
Without a plate underneath the side deck and SS bolts fitted/bolted through I wouldn't trust these to not work there way out, actually better too with a full width brace for extra strength. You had a lined out floor with what looks like vinyl floor covering, I'd have lined the bow and stern with that then the outriggers with the lines also: I'm sure most houses or yards have some sort of lined/paved/decked floor to work off to line things up properly rather than by eye alone. Anyway, the floats themselves seem fine.
If only it was that easy. The notches for the up and down adjustment is either too high or too low. Just got these in the mail and already feel like returning them.
They look good except for the railblaizer attachment point. I would be very surprised if these did not fail during a real tipping incident. Feel free to post a video proving me wrong!
So you reckon they would break at the RB mounts? I have RB mounts only OT Bigwater 132, and they see strong enough, but I haven't stressed them hard in the way big pressure on a rig arm might. Of course depending on the yak, you only need a relatively small amount of force to stop most yaks going over, unless you're in very rough seas indeed.This set would probably act as a good stabiliser to allow you to stand up in a decent sized kayak, and prevent any yak that would have otherwise got push passed the tipping g point if the outrigger wasn't fitted.
What are the pros and cons of running this setup in the front vs the middle or closer to the rear? Have an Ascend 133X for fishing that I’m considering a set of this to add extra stability and for light offshore days. I have a bow mounted trolling motor and I feel the front could use some extra stability but don’t want to loose casting area.
I second this question. The lack of a response make me question if they just want us to buy the front and back mounts (whichever is not on). Idk, but I would like a nice answer to this question. My thought have also been around the weight distribution of the kayak
Hi, I’m a fan of yak gear products, curious if you would recommend these for use with a hobie revo 11 with sail kit. I like the adjustability and implementation of this kit better than the hobie kit, but I’m worried the stress under sail might be a bit much for these single arm attachments (the hobie has a pole between the arms). Have these been tested with a sail kayak? Thanks!
you prolly dont care but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Cayson Heath Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Anybody out there know if these work well for sea going stability on a OT big water 13.2? It's a heavy kayak and I am not sure if the floats are bit on the underpowered side. Would how the the side arms are attached stand up for to flexing on the RB inserts? Sure look like they are fine on lighter kayaks/lake use, but I would love to hear if anybody has salty experience on a heavy yak?

How to tell it’s perfectly parallel, eye ball it real good

Why do you not respond to potential customers questions!?
Nice walk through

WHAT SONG IS THIS? I can't stop playing it in my head perfect banjo
Hello can you send a video how to install them in the front???
How much flex this will do on the body of the kayak. I'm afraid it will crack the kayak😬

Did you ever add them to your Ascend? It's the same model I have
Will these install on a Scotty low profile track? Those came on my pelican rebel 100xp and I'm wondering if I could install these on them
How much do these cost?
Will these fit my pelican catch pwr 100? I do have the 2.5 Suzuki outboard, but I do like to stand to see, and cast. Thank you. Stay safe
I was wondering the same thing. Did you happen to try these out?
Does anyone know how these hold up on a canoe ? Are they worth it ? Looking to make my fishing canoe safer

@Cayson Heath it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Gage Adrien you are welcome :D

Do you guys ship to others countries? Say Denmark, Scandinavia?
FIRST!!!
Look Honey, training wheels on that kayak! Damn!!! Only $175, Holy Shit!!! w.w.
Cheaper then Scotty or Hobie.
@@ubatool Scotty Cameron makes kayaks now?
there is no way they are strong enough to not just rip the well nuts out with any decent wave.
