I got a Scotty Anchor lock for Christmas and I’m trying to put it on my pelican bass raider. I have yak attack trifold rivets, but they don’t go all the way through because of the Scotty Anchor lock base. Will they still work, or do they have to be all the way flush? While I’m at it, I’m thinking of upgrading from a 3 pound fold out anchor to a 5 pound mushroom anchor. Do y’all think this will work better in a stiff wind? Thanks for the advice.

To clarify, say on a flat pad eye base the rivet might stick through with 3” to flare out in the hull. Because of the thickness of the Scotty anchor base, it might stick through only 2”. Will it still flare correctly and hold?

The answer to this question is to check the grip range of the rivet. As long as you still meet the criteria with what you are putting it through, you will be fine.

FYI- The YakAttack Tri-Fold Rivet has a grip range of .157 to .472 inches(approximately 1/6" to 15/32"), with a .187-inch diameter (3/16”)

The skin on the raiders is very thin, I used Hillman well nuts (cheap versions are more like hard plastic and don’t work) in the hull and then SS screws to attach any hardware. For items like rod holders that may get some torque on them I also used 3m 5200 sealant.

I used cleats for the anchor as opposed to the Scotty.
