Otter mod

[markzeke]

I've been looking at everyone's mod pics they've done and I really appreciate everyone posting them. The only thing I did differently was to add a way to store the otter poles during storage. I mounted a 1/2" piece of conduit and then I snap the poles on them and utilize 2 small bungies to help keep them in place. So far it's worked pretty good

Uuuuuuu, daddy like the red. It looks soft and warming (dang, that sounds "happy"). Post up some more pic's will you. I always like seeing other peoples hard work.

Great idea; I've just got mine tossed in the back so the canvas covers them when down for travel. I thought about getting them into a compartment, but didn't have a great spot for them. Looks good, but let's see the rest of your house!

Nice mod!

I have mine in the middle right now, but when I was loading up for the first time and grabbing poles, I went "Aurrga, the poles". I figure I have some space behind center console, which I can mount some quick clips for poles.

Good idea though!

After I thought about it, I wouldn't put them in the sled at all. You only need them after you have pulled the canvas up, and have the upright crossmember poles exposed. I would clip them (one per) directly to the crossmembers. If you needed them, they would be right there! I haven't needed to use mine yet, so they have just been stashed in the back. This idea makes sense to me, and is probably what I would do.

McGurk,

I ask this question before and you responded with that comment. I love that idea, but I have to find these clips. I know they sell double sided rubber clips. I would like to have a clip I could mount to cross member poles and will not pull off when you grab support pole. This is still in the works, but has not happen yet.
