FISHING
WITH VELCRO
Author: NLCATFISH
Over the years I have made improvements in my fishing
boat with
the help of Velcro. I have a portable fish-finder so to
mount it
and be able to remove it easily this was my fix. I glued
down a
number of one type of Velcro strips to my boats bench
seat. The
other type of Velcro strips to the bottom of the
mounting bar on
the fish-finder. This arrangement holds the finder
firmly, yet
just lift up and it is moved around so I can see the
screen when
I am sitting in my fishing seat. Allows easy removal to
pack
away at the end of the fishing day.
The second use I found was on the form rubber seat I use while
controlling my outboard motor. The same manner of strips
on the
bench seat of the boat and the bottom of the foam seat.
Holds
firm while in use yet easy to remove and store at the
end of the
day.
Finally it has resolved my problem with my gas line vibrating
free while running. It is a real pain to be watching
what is in
front of the boat and the gas line slips off. So I now
have a
small strip of Velcro over the connection on the motor
and over
the connector on the gas can. I now have the other side
of the
Velcro on the two ends of the gas line. This holds the
gas line
in place just fine; so I no have to be concerned with my
motor
dying on the river.
So if you need a few minor things to hold some of YOUR stuff
together , think about what some Velcro can do to help.
