Fishing Forum

I Just got a Outcast Scout and have been looking for mounts for rod holders, and a fish finder. How are these and are they easy to install? Look like flygoddess using them all the time. ( they look great by the way ) any help would be great.

I glued some extra D rings and those exact same Scotty rod mounts to my toon its fairly easy, but you'll want to research what works best for the material your toon is made out of. I think the Outcasts are Vinyl but I could be wrong.

Slightly sand the location you want the rod holder
Use a chemical cleaner that works best for your toon in a pinch use alcohol I used Mek(Methyl Ethyl Ketone) but again research what works best for the material your toon.
Then get a adhesive I used Vyna bond adhesive, Vyna bond should work on Vinyl.

Head over the the NRS web site they have a bunch of instructional videos on how to glue rod mounts extra D rings ect ect

Thanks for the info, I went and got some Stabond u 148. This should work, It says on the can to use 1 coat on both the boat and the mount. But I have seen some use up to 3 coats in some of the video. Why would they do 2 to 3 coats if the can says 1?

I bought and used the Stabond on my Fuzion (because of the rough texture of the boat) I did the three coat thing. It is holding well after a year but the D rings are coming up a little.
On the smooth material of the Outcast, you can probably use the single coat stabond (make sure for Vinyl).
My boats are more a Urethane cover (except the Predator) I used the two part Sta Bond on three of my boats. On the other two I used LOC TITE for Vinyl. It is about one third the cost, last longer and seems to hold up as well after three years so far.
Good luck.

I also did the 3 coats while Ive never used Stabond if its anything like Vyna-bond the glue and glue process is a little different than normal glue or what im use too.

You wipe on the glue and wait for about 5 minutes the glue needs to set or be partially dried and tacky. By putting on a second or 3rd coat you reactivate the glue and add another layer or more glue for adhesion.

For rod holders 1 to 2 layers probably would suffice but in the NRS video they use 3 layers for D-rings and Foot cups due to the increased pressure these attachments will get.

Oh and on a side note ( FG taught me this) get you a Big bottle of 303 aerospace protectant and wipe down your toon down every so often it will keep the sun from fading the color from your toon.

I got some info from FG several years ago on this same mount. I also used Stabond bought from a store of her recommending in the Salt Lake area.(Don't remember the name just now) They were rock solid. Everything I had hoped for and more. They looked like they were made to go on my pontoon when all was said and done. I would HIGHLY recommend! Good luck!

The glue ons open so many doors. You can use them for so many uses, however, I don't think I would try it on an Anchor mount. I put a couple on my Fuzion. With a piece of Aluminum and a Ram mount ball, I made a Sonar Monitor Mount. On the back I use a Scotty rod tree and carry multi rods loaded with different weight line.

Well I got my Outcast toon done, the Scotty mounts are on and look good. Thanks for all the help on this forum. Now time to hit some lakes...
