Hurricane Phoenix 140
Posted: 28 Mar 2017, 16:34
I've had my Hurricane Phoenix 140 (4.3m paddle yak) for a three years now. I been asked a few times about the fit-out and again recently. So here are the details.
- two rod (Scotty type) holders either side just behind the seat
- one central Ram type holder
- fish finder - inside hull mound of sensor and central mount of display
- esky - held by shock cord attached to hooks, with two rod storage tubes bolted to the esky
- led light permanently mounted on swivel mount (marine aerial mount)
- 7amp/hour battery housed inside hull in waterproof instrument case
- paddle holder - purchased a standard Hobie kit using shock cord
- anchor trolley - purchased a standard Hobie kit
- clip on tackle bag (clips onto back of seat)
- rear mount for tow rope (sometimes have to tow my wife in her Hobie when she gets tired of peddling) - a piece of shock cord in the tow line makes it much less jarring when waves hit the towed yak.
It's a simple clean set-up, that only requires the esky to be removed. Everything else remains in place - real quick for on and off the water.
