Can you find well nuts at any home improvement store?

Great video. Not sure how I missed this one last year, but I plan to add some rod holders this weekend. We exchanged emails last year about possibly meeting up for some kayak fishing on the Mississippi ( I am in Eastern Iowa) . Would definitely like to do some river fishing this spring / summer. Let me know.

Well nuts are designed to be used when drilling an area that you are unable to reach the opposing end. Regarding this application I would have drilled a much smaller hole and used the appropriate size stanless steel bolt, washer and locking nut. That's how I rigged my yak. Good luck fishing!

Hi, I am new to kayak fishing and I am in the process of turning my sit in kayak into a fishing kayak. I purchased the Scotty Rodmaster ll and I was wondering what hardware you used on yours (what size well nuts and what size screws).

Thanks for your help!

you should put bungies on the rod holder so when you land a whale it doesnt pull the rod out

dude, just for fun, get a plastic machine gun and mounted in the front and watch the stare from people on the lake :).

also, mount two plastic AR15 on each side. great fun and reaction from people.

i did that to mine as a joke and the park ranger actually came over and inspected them. :))

you can pop it out anytime.

I didn't think of putting my rod holders in the back like you have. I like that idea a lot. Good video.

Most rod holders will have alot of handle sticking out from the rear of the holder and should be mounted offset so the handles dont hit. Its not a issue with the holders you are installing. nice job.

what size well nuts did you use?? I bought a scotty #230 and the nuts were 1/4 inch...so I got matching 1/4 inch well nuts but the hole size for the well nut is 1/2 inch. Should I get 3/8 inch drill bit and force it through so it's a tight fit??

[mannyramirez24]

doesn't look too hard...what model scotty rod holder is that?? Does it come with the right size bolts and everything?? Thanx for the great video!!

Nice kayak!! Have you ever heard of the Pamlico 140?? I own one, and it's my favorite kayak model. Thats a nice 100.
