Securing Storage in a Foldable Kayak?


Recommended Posts

I took the leap and purchased the Brooklyn Foldable Pedal Kayak. I am hoping to put a YakAttack BlackPak (or equivalent storage unit) behind the seat, but I’d like a way to secure it with bungees. I'm new to kayak fishing, but is seems that most bungee systems mount on a track. The problem is that the back part of this kayak doesn't have a track.

 

Do you have any suggestions (ie what could I purchase?) that will fit within the existing Foldable Kayak architecture and will allow me to secure a storage unit behind the seat?

 

Thanks in advance

How do you feel about drilling holes? Can the interior of the hull be accessed?

I’d rather not drill holes if I don’t have to (I’m not the handiest guy), but will if that’s what it takes.

 

Unclear if the interior can be accessed

So if you want to got slightly larger project - You can add an access hatch in the rear deck so the you can access the interior of the hull. You would then be able to have backers for whatever mounting system you went with. 
Go to a kayak shop if possible to buy your BlackPack or equivalent and talk to them about where you want to mount it. They should have ideas, equipment, and experience. 
For me, I would zip tie a milk crate and fish it the rest of the year before I did anything else. Figure out how you fish and what you use most in it before you start drilling holes. A well-planned less is very much more on a small kayak.

 

Edit - I’m also sure Brooklyn Kayak would give you some options on it. Great company

Thanks so much, VolFan. All of those are great ideas.

 

Interestingly, I emailed the same question to Brooklyn Kayak and got no response.
