I just but one end with a saw at 45 degrees and filled the opening with something I got at lowes. It fitd in the scooper holes in the yak and holds ot in place real well

if you're putting out the cash for a hobie go to sotexas trolling motors and check out the power pole micro 600 bucks very light and designed for kayaks will run with either a 12 volt batt or rechargeable batts

I really do want to get some info on the kayak life jacket issue. AcousTennis and Prof. Salt, both of you spend a lot of time in your kayak's. What life jacket do y'all find to be the most comfortable?

Look at Wind and Wave, they have a bow line to use instead of an anchor trolley. I was going to get a trolley until I talked to an employee there. They know kayaking. The bow line works like an anchor trolley except you can move it from one side to the other or from the back to the front. It clips on anywhere and has a loose strap you can place under your leg to make adjustments. I went with the anchor and line they sell there also. I have had no trouble deploying my anchor and holding. Whatever system you get, make sure it is lightweight, small. And you can deploy it in a hurry when drifting I to a school of fish. For a life jacket, I got the field and stream with pockets in the front at Dicks sporting goods. I wear my jacket all the time. I very seldom see any kayakers wearing one and some don't even have one in their yak.

For a PFD I prefer the self inflating models. Comfortable, lightweight, and can be worn all day.

Anchor: I like the Bruce Claw. Holds well and doesn't weigh anything.

PFD: I use the MTI F-Spec. It has a high back, isn't restrictive and doesn't make me overheat during those hot weather trips.

Drift Sock: other stores tend to be more expensive, but Academy has a nice 36 inch sock for $16 that slows you to a crawl. Works great offshore, but the GW might accuse you of shrimping in the bays if you whip that bad boy out, lol.
