Attaching More Gear to Aluminum Benches

⚙️ Upgrade Your Boat: Attaching More Gear to Aluminum Benches

Looking to expand the functionality of your inflatable boat without overhauling its layout? Adding kayak-style gear tracks or mounting systems to your aluminum seat benches is a smart and affordable way to bring flexibility and convenience onboard.

Why Add Gear Tracks?

Kayak gear tracks offer a robust mounting solution for a wide range of accessories, including:

• Rod holders

• Fish finders

• Oar or paddle holders

• Utility tables and cup holders

• Phone or camera mounts

They’re cost-effective, lightweight, and widely available through Amazon or your local outdoor gear shop.

Simple Installation on Aluminum Benches

Installing gear tracks to the edges of your aluminum benches is surprisingly simple:

• Up to two tracks can be mounted per edge

• Secure them using rivets or stainless-steel bolts and nuts

• Tracks sit low and don’t interfere with seating

This adds instant modularity—you can slide accessories in and out based on your activity: fishing, camping, exploring, or relaxing.

Scotty & Railblaza Mount Options

If you want something more purpose-built, consider Scotty or Railblaza mounting bases:

• Both brands offer seat-edge-compatible bases

• Once mounted, you can attach dozens of accessories from their catalog

• Easily swap mounts based on what you're doing that day

You can find both brands on Amazon with plenty of affordable options.

A Modular Setup for a Better Boating Experience

This upgrade is especially useful for owners of INNOVOCEAN Metal Master Series or any inflatable boat with aluminum bench seats. With just a few minutes of installation, you transform your boat into a customizable gear platform.

No complicated mounts. Just smart, simple upgrades for serious adventurers.

Tip:

Start with one or two tracks, test what works best for your gear, then build out your setup. You’ll be surprised how much more usable space you’ll unlock.
