STEADY STICK® for the OLD TOWN AUTOPILOT

STEADY STICK® for the Old Town Autopilot allows standing and fishing, or standing and riding confidently.

This version of our product proudly leverages several trusted industry companies products (RAM®, Ketch® and DU-BRO®) to make the entire system work for the Old Town Autopilot 120/136. 

If you're interested in discussing a different configuration, please reach out directly to bill.rigler@steady-stick.com and I'll be glad to speak with you about feasibility, pricing, etc.

Currently, we offer several different configurations. Checkout all our images for additional details.

Configuration 1: Designed for installing on Old Town Autopilot gear track and included Ketch® 28 Inch - X-Aktrak HD Krossbar and 2x 2" Risers with rubber washers.

Configuration 2: Designed for installing on Old Town Autopilot gear track gear track and your own supplied crossbar. *** (For AP120 owners, please read below note) ***

Note: For AP120 owners, please don't assume the crossbar risers you have will automatically work with this system. There is limited gunwale track space on the AP120. For example, while the following brands crossbars are compatible with the AP120, there isn't enough room for their risers and our Steady Stick Housing when installed (Boonedox flat riser kit, YakAttack Zero Play LockNLoad, Railblaza Tactical Trax Risers). The traditional YakAttack LockNLoad will fit but we don't recommend using them because they wobble too much. If you already have a crossbar/riser kit and are curious if it will work with my Steady Stick product line please reach out to me directly at bill.rigler@steady-stick.com. I'll be glad to give my assessment based on which crossbar you have before purchasing. 

Unlike other much larger brands in the kayak fishing accessory industry, my product currently isn’t mass produced. For example, other larger kayak accessory companies typically make 1,000 units of a product (or more) for a production run, and that can help bring cost per unit down for the customer. However, with this particular product and initial production run, I manufactured a much smaller amount of units which in turn brings the cost per unit up.

Additionally, to make the Steady Stick system work for this kayak it requires utilizing other trusted supplier products that we are bundling with your purchase in many available configurations. For example, we leverage products from Ram® Mounts, Ketch® and DuBro Fishing where we are required to sell their products at a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP).

On top of all that is a moderate margin that helps us keep the lights on and be able to offer you a best-in-class product guarantee and warranty (see further below).
