Mount the 3/4" angle tabs so that the angle lays down on the corner edge of the gunell wrapping down the side the boat. Setup a pair of tabs back to back makes a "T" shape with the sheet pinched between. Drill then rivet together making a cleate for your lash to grab.

Trim your pieces measured to your size and shape from the end of your deck or bow tip to a comfortable way back to midship or bow position your preferred choice. Use the spray glue to combine the sheets. use your favorite flavor of duct tape to finish the edges. Cut 3"tabs from the aluminum...

My little boat is lined down the hull so I've lashed the skirts down. You can of course adapt to snaps drilled in or making a cuff on the skirt that ties on but that poly sheet prefers a flatter profile, fitting at the top of the gunell edge its stiff enough to resist flapping in the breeze...

Did I mention the nightglo paracord

Oh ... I forgot to list the old car floor mat and ... the duct tape :) You can of course use any "topsheet" you choose. this deer sled thingy I most recommend tho, for several reasons. The material is super light and super tough and Hunter Orange. When glued to your topsheet you get a...

Howdy folks, Uncle Mur here. Hows it going. Picked up a nice little Mohawk pac canoe. I've been equipping it so that solo adventures are as safe and practical as can be. Its led me to some projects that I think may be of interest to some. Best of all "cheap" and functional. Repurposing...

Thanx Glen, I watched this style of system in the wingman promo stuff go through what I would call class 3 haystacks in a competition and strapped to a big 17' with the bow paddler in a lawn chair and a 70lb black Lab bouncing around the deck do class 1&2 stuff and actually navigate not just go...

The kit breaks down in minutes and all fits in the van. .... well ok, the last 5" of the canoe pokes out the back :) ... and the kayak style seat in the bottom right of the shot ... Moms 670$ cushion from her wheelchair ;) lol I love a good repurposing. The pond was pretty thick with Duckweed...

Looking backwards, Switching positions is now comfortable and safe. And it paddles not bad backwards too.

Reaching out behind, I can't believe how stable it is now.

Reaching out over the water, head and shoulder out of the boat holding the phone half a foot off the water.

Static sitting position

Hiya Kids, Uncle Mur here again. It's been rainy with a couple of good storms in the mix here lately. Not very good paddlin weather, but good shop time. Cruising through the web I found this rig by Wingman Outdoors, a pontoon deck with coolers as pontoons. Looked kinda hokey at first glance...

Thanx for the fabulous input Glen. ... and yes I do see myself falling prey to those "This's" lol Anticipating getting flipped trying to haul in a big Bass those bags I'm thinking should help and old dog do his Capistrano

Man I forgot how skttery an empty canoe is. I started out with my saddle in place kneeling. It's a comfortable position, the saddle I crafted works as planned. The trim was good but the little boat didn't like the center of gravity a whole lot. Felt quite tippy, more so when I sat up on the...

Well I had the chance to take 'er on the maiden voyage tonight. I'll call it a success, Didn't tip or sink! Huzzah! ;)

I've always been a big fan of Bill Mason and his way of stowing gear with a short tether. Keeps your gear with the boat and make it way easier to empty the water from a swamped boat. ;)
