Rigging Hardware

MillerTime · 02-09-2012, 09:51 AM

So I have a pro angler and have to add a few things to it that I have been planning for a while and finally need to get them done. I see that Hobie sells a rigging kit and west marine sells a few kits of ss hardware but I don't feel like I will ever use all of it and the sizes seem like they have too many different ways to describe different sizes. Being sort of a noon I can't really tell them all apart. I was wondering what size screws/bolts people use. I found out that Lowes has a much better selection of ss items than home depot does though. I am going to be installing a fishfinder and camera mount on my mounting boards (4 each) and my transducer off the back (4 again) so I need a total or 12 screws washers and nuts.

what do you mean transducer off the back? most just use some marine goop and it shoots through the plastic hull just fine.

Mine is side imaging and has to be in the water.

Got to Lowes, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, or any other hardware store. Hobie, West Marine, etc. sell the same hardware but for 2X or 3X the price. The thing about kayak fishing is that you can set it up anyway that works for you.

Good luck,
Alex
