[quote Bassassin714]Hey guys been awhile since I've been on but over the down time I've recently added a few more toys to the arsenal. One being a featherlight Heritage kayak and a ODC 420 that I got from Craigslist for $80. My question was if anyone has experience outfitting the ODC with rod holders ect.. Hopefully be adding some pics soon as I get a chance to wet a line.[/quote]
I used sections of a 7/8" dowel to make a frame, clamped to form an "H" shaped frame that goes through the end rings at the point and side rings at the pockets for a a foot bar. The rod holders are just steel "U" bolts drilled and clamped at the upper seat end of the wooden frame, one per side. Simple drop in and remove setup, the inside diameter of the "U" bold determines how snug your pole and the angle of tilt and the rod butt rests against the pontoon itself for some of the upright support. You can bend the "U" bolt to make the hold more secure. I needed a foot rest anyway, so it worked for me.
