In this video we give you step by step instructions on how to attach fittings to your Gumotex or Grabner inflatable boats. No matter whether you want to attach D-rings for securing luggage, keel strips for additional protection against damage, rod holders for better storage of your fishing rods, a pad for retrofitting a fin (on boats that are delivered without one, e.g. Gumotex Scout) or other fittings on your inflatable kayaks or inflatable canoes. We will explain to you exactly how you should go about it and give you useful tips to achieve the best possible result.
▬▬▬▬▬ Info & Tips ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
There are many different fittings. Here are the best known / most useful ones and their intended use:
D-rings or other attachment points: D-rings or other attachment points are usually used when you want to better attach luggage to the boat. For example, we have expanded our Gumotex Seawave to be able to attach Grabner bags to it (video about the Seawave: • GUMOTEX SEAWAVE: Setup... ).
But there are also other uses, such as retrofitting a circumferential safety rope. There are special fittings from Gumotex for this.
Rod holder: On some boats you have the option of attaching rod holders with a screw mechanism. But there are also boats that do not offer this option and at least here you can only use stick-on pads (e.g. Railblaza RibPort with StarPort) that can hold a rod holder.
On our Gumotex Scout (Video about the Scout: • GUMOTEX SCOUT: unsere ... ), we screwed long rod holders onto the middle bench. In order to be able to leave these out and have more space for luggage, we installed two rod holders from Railblaza and we are very happy with the result.
There are also other attachments for such pads, such as an echo sounder holder set or for the screen of an echo sounder.
Keel strips: The high-quality boats from Gumotex and Grabner are very robust, but of course occasional wear and tear occurs and with keel strips, which are attached to the most stressed areas, longevity can be increased.
Retrofitting a fin: Many boats already have a fin holder from the factory and are delivered with a fin. This is not the case with the Gumotex Scout or Gumotex Palava, for example, but it can still make sense to retrofit a fin.
We retrofitted a fin on our Scout and this greatly improved its directional stability on calm waters. We can recommend this to anyone who wants to do longer sea tours with one of these boats.

▬▬▬▬▬ Utensils needed ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Grabner workshop glue 100ml: cutt.ly/ewDTTFAt
Grabner workshop glue 250ml: cutt.ly/ZwZ4iqLD
Gumotex Elastick (only for small jobs): cutt.ly/owDTTzmW
ADHESIVE QUANTITY: For keel strips (11m) and the two rod hook pads we used 2x 250ml. For all work such as D-rings or fin holders, i.e. smaller jobs, the 100ml of Grabner or 15g tube of Gumotex glue was enough for us.
If in doubt, it's better to buy too much glue! If the glue runs out during the gluing work, it is very annoying.
