On the TexasKayakfishing site (Bing search engine), there are photos of a 2015 with the wide 8" gear tracs mounted just forward of the rod holders. They appear to fit nicely but appearances can deceive. Does anyone know if the wide gear tracs will fit the 2015 just forward of the rod holders without any overhang or should I just stick with the narrow gear tracs?
I'm the one who mounted the 8inch gear tracs forward of the rod holders that ronrbaker referenced in the TKF (Texas Kayak Fisherman) forums. They work great and have no problems! I like the stability and strength of the gear tracs for rod holders and trolling. They fit nicely. There is no overhang. I was initially concerned they might interfere with the rudder system, but there is good clearance and screws do not touch the rudder lines.
Here are the pictures I posted on TKF.
