Scotty backplate

thingiverse

Installing a Scotty mount on your kayak's deck is an easy and straightforward process that requires some basic tools and knowledge of kayak design. The first step involves selecting the perfect location to attach the mount, taking into account the kayak's dimensions and any obstructions such as hatches or footrests. Once you've chosen the ideal spot, use a drill to create holes for the screws, making sure they're level and secure. Next, insert the mounting bracket onto the deck, aligning it with the pre-drilled holes, and screw it firmly into place. Finally, attach the Scotty mount itself by sliding it over the bracket, tightening the screws until it's snugly secured to the kayak's surface.
