There is a little "MacGyver" in me that can't resist trying to find solutions to problems using simple tools and materials. After buying a Revo last spring, I discovered that the Revo is a great boat but it is not without its shortcomings. Fortunately, this kayak is easy to mod. I have come up with a couple of things that make the boat more useful for me.
Because of the way I store my kayak in my garage, I cannot have the ball mounts sticking above the gunwales. That means that I cannot permanently mount a forward rod holder. I came up with a design for a removable rod holder that mounts in the Revo cup holder.
You can see a thread on this design here.

This device works really well while on the water but I find that it gets in the way when paddling. I usually remove it while launching and landing.
To deal with the awkward positioning of the rear rod holders, I created a "Accessory -Trolling Bar" that mounts in the rear holes and provides a better trolling setup with easier access to the rods.
Here is the thread for this project.

This mod is very useful. It also provides a place to attach leashes, and would be ideal for mounting a light as well as other small items.
See you on the water.
