Jack Nuts

CajunRich

I am disappointed with the performance of well nuts previously installed in my kayak. I think I have a solution by using jack nuts. Has anyone tried this? I am working with a supplied at this time to locate them 1" to 11/2" long. I would use rivets but the well nut holes are already drilled 3/8".

What are you replacing them on? You might still be able to use rivets. I replaced my flush mount rod holders which had well nuts and changed them to rivets. Obviously 100x better! I used the access through center hole cut out for the rod holder to pre-glue large stainless washers taking up the surface area of the holes where the well nuts were. Once they are set you are ready to use rivets. Hope this helps.

Rear rod holders where there is no hatch in sight.

Scotty base or flush mount?
