Footbrace Mounting Kit (FMK)

We have long been advocates of KISS-principle footbrace installation: just through-bolt the footbraces to the sides of the kayak hull. However, we've heard from scores of builders over the years who prefer to hide the footbrace mounting bolts on the interior of the hull.

Here's an easy, inexpensive way to do it strongly, with no visible boltheads on the exterior. CLC's footbrace stud kit includes EVERYTHING you need: Four (4) stainless steel studs---enough for one pair of footbraces; washers and nuts; reinforcing fiberglass; and a detailed page of instructions specific to our boats. Voila! Invisible kayak footbrace mounts. Works equally well with Yakima and Keepers footbraces.

NOTE: The footbrace mounting studs will need to be shortened for use with the Feathercraft K1 and K2 rudder systems.  For the Smart-Track rudder system with Toe Pilot footbraces, a Vertical Adjustment Kit is required; see details below.
