Re: DIY Kayak Flag Mounting?

I see there is something on the end in that photo you posted, but it can easily be cut off.



On my rental skis I use a 3/4 inch PVC pipe and drill the proper hole somewhere in the plastic body.
Are you mounting your flags thru the scupper plugs? I've thought of this but was told by more than one that it can weaken the structure of the kayak?

On the end of the flag pole is a bike mount that I'll remove or cut off.

Appreciate the thoughts guys. I'm looking for something simple/easy so I can put the flag up/down and comes off easy when not in use.

Cheers and Happy New Year Fishing to all
