Had the same problem on my Pygmy Osprey Std. (same deck profile, I think). Took a PVC pipe cap (black was sexier than white, so I used that) in the 4-inch diameter, and carved a notch in the open part to fit the hull profile (easier than it sounds -- make a template). Two holes and a bungie with clips on each end fixed the pipe cap to the forward padeyes of the deck bungie system. Then I mounted an Aquameter II with their hardware and the base that allows the A II to be snapped-on and snapped-off to the upper, flat surface of the pipe cap. Works as well as the hard-mounts on the decks of my FG rigs, which have platforms for a compass, and nice to have the compass FORWARD of the deck bungies and out of the way of the other junk I have under 'em (chart, etc.). -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon May 11 1998 - 21:47:49 PDT
