How to Install Casting Brace on Kilroy (Video) by JK Team | Mar 7, 2014 | Dealer, Fishing, Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Kilroy, rivers, Saltwater Fishing, Video | 5 comments A few of us on the fishing team have adopted the Kilroy as our Inland Bass Yak. This yak won us over because of its lighter weight, speed, stability, comfort and fishability. The lack of scuppers makes this boat glide through the water smoother than its 12′ sit-on-top counterpart the Cuda 12, and because of the low center of gravity it is significantly easier to stand in. Even so, we wanted more. We love the new Casting brace that comes standard on the Big Rig and we wanted to see if we could adapt something like this to our Kilroys. So Bam took the tape to it only to find out that the dimensions for the stand up bar would work perfectly on the Kilroy. So we started taking apart a Big Rig we had in stock and adapting it to Bam’s Kilroy. The extra point of contact that the bar makes when it meets your hips creates even more stability, as well as making it easier to stand up. The front pieces mount to the flat part of the deck in front of the dashboard cover, and the rear supports were easily adapted to the track using Yak Attack T Bolts. Here is the finished product. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w2_3NM0tH4 5 Comments capt gary howe on April 11, 2014 at 9:12 pm this is the greatest thing since “sliced bread”. easy install with only a few added nuts and bolts aside from the kit from Jackson or your dealer. much easier to stand, fish and more around the boat. thanks Bam and Dan. Reply Rick on April 12, 2014 at 11:10 am Great idea. Is it possible to mount one on a Cuda? Reply William Freer on April 19, 2014 at 1:11 am Have you had any luck finding a rack for a cuda12? If you have any luck forward it to me please to my email freer772@gmail.com Reply Lee on April 22, 2014 at 5:28 pm Do you have a stand up bar to fit the Jackson Coosa? Reply joshtidwell on April 25, 2014 at 11:45 pm Lee, there isn’t a standup bar specifically for the Coosa. The only standup bar currently is for the Big Rig, but some folks have adapted that to other boats. I haven’t seen one on a Coosa.
