I’ve been playing around with lots of ideas for accessories and how I want to mount them to the S4 but I haven’t yet been willing to drill holes into the boat. The other day I grabbed a 2×2 to see if it would fit in the seat holes. It turns out that a 2×2 (actual measurements 1.5 x 1.5) fits perfectly. Once I realized that it really opened the door for accessory options.
To start with. I made an accessory pole for the rear position (assuming two people are fishing). This pole allows you to quickly clip your paddle in safely and grab your fishing pole. I need to add some foam to the sides where the paddle crosses the boat to keep any noise down.
As you can see below, when not in use it easily stows in the stern out of the way.
The last picture is just a longer piece of 2×2 that can be used for the front fisherman for stability when standing and casting.
Wanted to share this with you and the others in case it helps. The flat mounting points of the 2×2’s really gives a lot of options.
Thanks

Thanks Noah,
I like it! 🙂
I also like how you use the front deck for extra storage.

Thanks for the photos. As another option, many hardware stores have 1.5″ round hardwood dowels that can be used for the same purposes. Plus, there are many other options with 1.5″ PVC pipe (1.25″ ID)
