Gunwale Bow Plate

[KCM]

Like some of you I had my bow gunwale get hung up on the roller. I didn't want to drill holes in my bow to mount a plate so I came up with this removable bow plate. It snaps into place and is a snug fit, but I lean over and remove it after I launch, it could pop out if you hit a nice wake while running.

I cut a piece of 1 1/4" PVC, 2 1/4" long and 8" long. I then cut a piece of 1/16" aluminum 8" wide and 4" deep in center contour and used a few stainless screws to hold it all together. This works on my CS, you may need some mods for the one you have.

I added a small 1/2" piece of PVC and another plate to give it more of an angle. The other plate worked fine, this on works better with the angle added.
