You'll get more stability with the outriggers being extended as you have them installed but I can already see where they'll be hit when paddling. Maybe making them shorter so that they contact the side of the kayak would be better. The shorter PVC would be stiffer so less flex. Just food for thought.
Right, I can see where you're coming from. I thought about drilling more holes across the main outrigger shafts for more adjustment options. The way it currently sits I don't have too many paddling issues unless I'm fully extending. I appreciate your insight and I'll most definitely consider making adjustments. Thanks for watching.
That's a concern as well. I've only taken it out on lakes, but I thought about making adjustments along the outrigger shafts to bring them in and out for different scenarios and reduce tension on the holders.

Cool way to mount the seat and outriggers, might do this on my kayak!
Hey thanks. It certainly helped my kayak performs better and it's much more comfortable now.
Good job… and I didn’t know Kid Rock kayaked too.
Omg Kid Rock 🤣. When I'm not shooting Bud Light cans I'm tipping one back in the yak. Bawitdaba 🤘
Great idea with the fishing rods. They sell that same setup on Amazon for $150. How much did you spend for your outrigger setup?
The rod holders work great for adjustability and durability. The total cost for the outriggers and hardware came to around $70.
Bro, great video !
Thanks bro, I appreciate it.
Great video, thank you
I'm stoked you enjoyed the video and happy I could help. Thanks for watching.
Nice job 👍
That's awesome man! So glad this upgrade guide was helpful for you. Thank you.
I wonder if a strong current will compromise the rod holder and break off

Wow very awesome
I'm glad you liked it. Thank you.
You have to glue before you paint PVC.
I wasn't aware that it would be an issue. I'll keep that in mind. So far, the paint hasn't affected the integrity of the bond.
🤔 ok
The intro made me stay
Ah heck yeah. I appreciate you taking the time to check out the video.
