Glue in an alloy rail in the boats bottom. On the rail you could mount every
part very easily, you like to have in your boat.
Use "normal" glue for PE, what´s its name? 3M 5200 FC ? Or Sikaflex. The
alloy rail, you get from kayak outfitters or have a look in your local
manual worker suppliers shop.
