Re: Mounting brackets to kayak

I would skip those and add two bungies similar to paddle holders. Not sure what those are made out of but the paddle bungies are plenty secure and last a couple of years. Not to mention they come in easy to install kits if desired. My kayak has a paddle holder on each of the yak, I use one of them to hold my 120.

Re: Mounting brackets to kayak

I agree. I've not used a kayak that much, but when I went to RI for Nationals a few years ago, my buddies who were much more experienced than me, said to just use these velcros straps from west marine. Seemed to work very well and they were like a buck a piece or something.

This video shows unfastening gun from side of kayak during the tournament.. skip to 2:30
