FISHING WITH VELCRO                                
 
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. Tight lines to all. nlcatfish
