| Using Wellnuts - What makes using wellnuts
especially nice is that you don't have to use any glues
or sealers. The tightened wellnut creates a water tight
seal. |
| 1. Assemble your tools. You're going to
need a drill, 2 drill bits (13/64" & 3/8") and a screwdriver.
|
 |
| 2. (4) wellnuts with washers and bolts.
|
 |
| 3. Place a paddle in the clip and put
it up against the kayak. You want to put it just behind
your hip on the side opposite where you like to land
fish. |
 |
| 4. Now take the drill with the 13/64"
bit and drill a hole through both the paddle clip and
continue through the kayak. |
 |
| 5. Now place a bolt and washer in the
rubber clip and place it in the hole. Now drill the
lower hole in the clip repeating step 4. |
 |
| 6. Remove the clip. You will now have
2 holes in the paddle clip and 2 pilot holes for the
wellnuts. |
 |
| 7. Put the 3/8" bit in the drill and use
the pilot holes to make larger holes for the wellnuts.
|
 |
| 8. Put the wellnuts in both holes and
push them flush. |
 |
| 9. Now place the rubber clip with bolts
and washers in both wellnuts and tighten completely
using the phillips head screwdriver. |
 |
| 10. Put the paddle back in the rear clip
and put the other clip near the opposite blade. Position
the clip a few inches from the end in the front while
its completely or near the blade in the rear. This will
give you enough distance that you won't hit the forward
clip while you're paddling. |
 |
| 11. Repeat steps 4 through 9 and you're
done. |
