YakGear Kayak Accessorie's Kayak & Canoe Outrigger Stabilizer Kit, GEN 2, One Size

Product Information

Some brands include the installation hardware and everything you need to set up the kayak outrigger, but others, for whatever reason, do not. That’s why the final consideration should be whether you’re getting an “all-inclusive” kayak stabilizer kit. Instead, kayak outriggers and stabilizer floats are optional accessories for those who want to stay on the safe side – and could come in useful in the following scenarios: Instead of having to install swivel rod holders, you can skip that step and build stabilizers that insert right into your flush-mounted rod holder locations.

Sitting at 30 inches long and 8 inches in diameter, these pontoons are manufactured from a tear-resistant PVC outer shell, keeping you balanced on the water, even if your line hits a snag and jars positioning. Always look out for stabilizer kits that come with extra accessories such as nuts and bolts plus anything else that you may need for installation. Note that you could always buy these items from nearby shops. Compatibility The Lixada Kayak Stabilization System is the perfect solution to your kayak outrigging needs. Measuring at 34.6 inches long, these white, PVC pontoons are geared for balance and stability on the water. Some customers were critical of the mounting hardware, and others found that the included screws weren’t long enough for their kayaks. If this is the case for you, be sure to use stainless steel screws, washers, and nuts. The outrigger comes with a stainless steel mounting hardware that attaches to the rod holders. Just the installation, the detachment is easy too.

On the other hand, the sturdy telescopic Universal Receiver Crossbar has a simple design. And, the telescopic arms are extendible up to 20 inches in each direction. So, you can adjust the width according to your needs.

When mounting, you should consider the placement of the outrigger kit. Basically, you need to place it near the stern of the boat and this will help you with the efficient use of the system. Additional accessoriesAlso, the stabilizers come with all the hardware that you need for installation. Even better is the simple set of instructions to guide you through the installation. Keep it simple, sweet, and cheap with this Brocraft outrigger system! It’s designed specifically for mounting on sit-on-top kayaks, including stainless steel mounting hardware that is easily secured in place on your existing frame/mounting solutions. The 32-inch aluminum arms extend just far out enough from the side of your kayak that they won’t get in the way of your paddling, and the PVC floats offer decent buoyancy despite their small size.
