Drill thru the gun Wales instead And then you don't have holes in the sides of your boat. If you are drilling thru the sides, it would be ideally for a spray deck
@ryansroutes1805 weird. In all my years paddling whitewater, I've never seen air bags secured this was. Also many will be hesitant to drill thru their boat. When I did, it was for my spray deck to allow it to fold over the sides
Yeehaw great stuff Ryan, I hear working with Poly is tricky! A couple things worth mentioning, that carabiner is an entrapment hazard say for example if your shoelaces were to get caught during a spill. The second would be the paracord, if doing this again I would swap to a static cord that wont stretch
Thanks! I would have went more elaborate with it if it were my own boat. It was a project for my buddy, he tossed me a boat with a box of materials and said “rig it” lol. I tried to do the best I could with what he gave me.

Thanks for the tip! Every boat I’ve paddle for whitewater was setup like that so I assumed it was correct.

Basic, and it works.
