YakAttack Mounting Versatility

YakAttack products allow for you to quickly reconfigure your kayak rigging, when you use products like GearTrac and MightyMount as your base.
Here is a 2012 Ride 135 kayak in an unrigged state. Present are 4″, 8″ and 12″ sections of YakAttack GearTrac, as well as a few MightyMounts and NiteStripe.

In this photo, the kayak has had its GearTracs filled with camera mounts, GPS and rod holders, while the MightyMounts hold a VISICarbon Pro safety flag/light and a PanFish Rotating Camera Pole.

Looking more closely at the cockpit, there is a PanFish Portrait camera mount on the 4″ section of GearTrac. On the 8″ section of GearTrac is a RAM GPS mount attached via a Screwball. On the SlideTrax that Wilderness Systems provides, there is an Accessory Rail with various Screwballs. This could easily hold a fish finder and transducer arm or other accessories. YakAttack makes 2 different MightyBolts for their Screwball to make them compatible with GearTrac or other track systems such as the SlideTrax shown.

In this example, I decided to move my GPS and still camera to the Accessory Rail to free up the center console.

On the stern, we see a RAM rod holder installed on a 12″ piece of GearTrac via a Screwball. The MightyMounts are holding, in the foreground, a VISICarbon Pro safety flag & light combo and in the background is a PanFish Rotating Camera Pole that holds a GoPro Hero HD video camera.

A close-up shows the RAM rod holder.

Let’s say that I decide to swap the rod holder out for a DogBone camera mount. I simple twist the rod holder mount 180 degrees…

… and install the Dogbone in its place.

Done, and in less than 15 seconds.

On the bow, I’ve decided to switch from a fishing expedition to a filming one. I simply remove the rod holder by twisting it 180 degrees and sliding it off the GearTrac…

… and slide a DogBone with a video camera installed in its place.

Total elapsed time – About 15 to 20 seconds.
