We wanted to carry an anchor trolley that would not only be functional and durable but easy to install. We also wanted to limit the amount of holes you are drilling into the kayak so every component is fastened with a single hole as opposed to using deck loops which need 2 holes drilled each and will wear from friction. We compiled what we feel is a great system and can be installed on the kayak in 10 minutes. This system is designed to work with an anchor, drift sock or a stake-out pole and is a bow to stern system.

Plastic knobs are provided to secure the system to the kayak deck . All under-deck hardware has smooth edges to prevent damage to drybags and other delicate gear.

If you would like to try a kayRak system without drilling holes in your kayak, you may wish to consider a strap-mount system. This set-up also allows quick movement from one kayak to another. Strap-mount systems can be converted to permanent mount with a mounting hardware kit

Choose between single pole and double pole systems

It is important that your outrigger system does not obstruct your paddle stroke. The position of the outrigger pole relative to where you are sitting in the kayak will determine this. Email us the make and model of your kayak and we can make a recommendation. Generally single pole systems are used on SOT (sit-on-top) kayaks and shorter standard models.
