What is a YakGear anchor trolley?

A Yak Gear anchor trolley is a device used for kayaking to allow for easy movement of an anchor along the length of the kayak. It provides better control and positioning of the anchor, allowing for improved stability and drift control.

How do I install a YakGear Rod Holder Extension?

Installing a YakGear Rod Holder Extension typically involves the following steps:

  1. Determine the location where you want to install the YakGear rod holder extension. The rod holder extension can be mounted on a variety of surfaces, including kayaks, boats, and decks, as long as they have a flat surface that is at least 2 inches wide.
  2. Clean the surface where you will install the rod holder extension. It's important to ensure that the surface is free of dirt, debris, and oil, as this will ensure that the holder adheres properly.
  3. Peel the backing off of the adhesive pad on the bottom of the rod holder extension, and press it firmly onto the surface where you want to install it.
  4. Tighten the knob on the rod holder extension to secure it in place. It's important to ensure that the rod holder extension is level and that the knob is tight enough to keep the holder from moving, but not so tight that it causes damage to the surface.
  5. Insert the rod into the extension and adjust the angle to your desired position.

It's important to read the instructions carefully and to follow any additional safety or usage guidelines provided by the manufacturer. 

It's also important to check the compatibility of the extension with the rod holder you already have, and also to ensure that the extension does not affect negatively the stability of your kayak or boat.
