I just bough an Outlaw and love it . Wanting hatches but worried about leaking . I want to add 2 gear tracks 2 the rear where the flat area is for like a motor . Don't think i want a motor but the tracks would allow me to add or swith to anything . Also added noodles to my seat incase it comes off . Know a guy who rolled and lost his seat . I want lights for incase also . Just finished 9 miles from dillards ferry to rush on the buffalo river in Arkansas ... love my boat . I weigh 320 plus gear .
The outlaw is great I love mine,it's a bit of a pain in the wind but overall a great kayak.if you plane on doing rails on the back I would recommend putting aluminium backing plates in the hull to mount through for added strength 💪👍
Did the 6in work in the back?? I'm about to put a hatch in the back to install a Scotty anchor lock system...and a trolling motor mount later down the road.
I ended up installing the 5in in both the front and back and it works great! I am worried though about installing a hatch in the middle standing area. Does your outlaw give or bend more under your weight after installing the hatch or no change?
Thanks for the video and the tips. How has this particular hatch been working for you? Any Leaks? Also, what is the specific product or model hatch plate that you installed? Did you install the same model hatch plate in all three locations? Many Thanks!
The hatches have worked well I never did get around to do the third one yet.the only time I've had a little bit of water go in was a really rough day on the water during a tournament were the bow went completely underwater quit a few times but it wasn't much.as for the model it was just a generic one off of Amazon for $17can
Sorry for the stupid question but you mentioned you would need a hole saw that’s 5 1/2”. Wouldn’t you need a 5” if it’s a 5” hatch? Great video btw. Thanks for taking time to show how to correctly do the install.
The hatch worked great in my outlaw, thanks! I love this kayak! Check out this alternative to the overly expensive perception saddle bags! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hcfCnn0l96w.html
