Revolutionize Your Outdoor Setup with the YakAttack GTSL90 Surface Mount Track Kit
Are you an avid angler, a dedicated paddleboard enthusiast, or a small boat owner looking for the ultimate solution to securely mount your essential gear without the hassle of permanent modifications? Do you find yourself asking, "What's the best way to add accessories to my kayak or SUP without drilling excessive holes?" Or perhaps, "How can I create a versatile and adjustable mounting platform that withstands the harsh marine environment?" Look no further than the YakAttack GTSL90 Surface Mount Track Kit. This innovative 8-inch track system, available exclusively at DEGuns.com, is engineered to provide a robust, adaptable, and incredibly durable foundation for all your light to medium duty accessory needs, transforming your vessel into a highly customized and efficient platform.
The YakAttack GTSL90 represents a significant leap forward in gear track technology. Unlike many traditional tracks made from aluminum, the GTSL90 is meticulously crafted from a super high-end, proprietary polymer, specifically designed to excel in the most demanding outdoor and marine conditions. This advanced material provides unparalleled resistance to the corrosive effects of saltwater, the degrading power of UV radiation from prolonged sun exposure, and the impact from bumps and scrapes that are common in active outdoor pursuits. This means your track system will maintain its structural integrity, vibrant appearance, and reliable performance season after season, making it an investment in long-term utility and peace of mind.
Why Choose the YakAttack GTSL90 for Your Gear Mounting Needs?
The decision to choose the GTSL90 goes beyond just its material; it's about optimizing your experience on the water or in the field. This track system solves several common challenges faced by outdoor enthusiasts:
- Unmatched Durability in Marine Environments: If you operate in saltwater, freshwater, or even extreme weather, the GTSL90's polymer construction will not corrode, rust, or degrade. This is a critical advantage over metal tracks, which can succumb to oxidation over time, leading to compromised performance and unsightly wear.
- Effortless Installation & Versatility: The single GTSL90 kit comes ready to install, featuring a pre-drilled 8-inch track and all necessary hardware. This means less time fussing with tools and more time enjoying your activity. Its surface mount design allows for flexible placement on various flat or slightly curved surfaces, adapting to your specific vessel or gear configuration.
- Customizable Accessory Placement: The true power of a track system lies in its ability to allow users to quickly attach, detach, and reposition accessories along the track's length. Whether you need to move your fish finder closer to your seat, adjust your rod holder for a different casting angle, or relocate your camera for the perfect shot, the GTSL90 makes on-the-fly adjustments simple and secure.
- Lightweight Yet Super Strong: Despite its incredible strength, the advanced polymer of the GTSL90 is surprisingly lightweight. This is particularly beneficial for kayaks and paddleboards where every ounce matters, helping to maintain your vessel's balance and performance without adding unnecessary bulk.
- Streamlined & Low Profile Design: With a size and shape similar to the popular GT90 series, the GTSL90 offers a sleek, low-profile design that minimizes snags and creates a clean aesthetic on your craft. It blends seamlessly with your existing setup, enhancing functionality without distracting from the lines of your boat or board.
Ideal Applications: Who Benefits Most from the GTSL90?
The YakAttack GTSL90 is an indispensable tool for a wide array of users and activities, making it a highly sought-after component for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor setup:
- Kayak Anglers: Easily mount and adjust rod holders, fish finders, transducer mounts, GPS units, camera mounts, and even small tackle boxes. Position your gear exactly where you need it for optimal fishing efficiency, whether trolling, casting, or jigging.
- Paddleboarders: Transform your SUP into an adventure platform by adding places for dry bags, coolers, phone mounts, or even small fishing setups. The GTSL90 allows for quick changes between recreational paddling and more specialized activities.
- Small Boat Owners: From Jon boats to small skiffs, the GTSL90 offers a compact yet robust solution for mounting auxiliary lighting, cup holders, extra rod holders, or even safety equipment where space might be limited.
- DIY Enthusiasts & Gear Modders: For those who love to customize their equipment, the GTSL90 provides a versatile base for countless homemade or specialized attachments, offering a secure and removable option for experimental setups.
- Campers & RV Owners: While primarily marine-focused, the GTSL90's durability and mounting versatility can extend to securing gear on various outdoor rigs, providing attachment points for lights, tools, or small storage solutions.
Seamless Integration with Your Existing Gear
One of the standout features of the YakAttack GTSL90 is its broad compatibility. It is specifically designed to work seamlessly with any 1/2-inch wide track hardware, which is a common standard across many accessory brands. This ensures that you can utilize a vast array of existing or new accessories, maximizing the utility of your track system without being locked into a proprietary ecosystem.
What kind of accessories can you mount? The possibilities are vast!
- Rod Holders: Securely hold your fishing rods for trolling, storage, or hands-free baiting.
- Fish Finder & GPS Mounts: Position your electronics for optimal viewing and access.
- Camera Mounts: Capture your adventures from unique angles, ensuring stable footage.
- Cup Holders: Keep your beverages secure and within reach.
- Anchor Trolley Systems: While the track itself doesn't function as a full anchor trolley, accessory mounts can integrate with components of such systems.
- GearTrac Accessories: Any product designed to slide into 1/2-inch wide track systems will be compatible.
It is important to note, however, that the GTSL90 is not intended for use with the RAM Mounts® Quick Release Track Base. This is due to potential fitment or retention issues with that specific RAM Mounts product. For users seeking RAM Mounts compatibility, it's advisable to check RAM Mounts' dedicated track systems or accessories designed for broader universal track compatibility that do not rely on their quick-release track base. Always ensure your chosen accessory's hardware is designed for 1/2" wide tracks to guarantee a secure and proper fit with the GTSL90.
Installation Made Effortless: Ready-to-Install Convenience
The "ready to install" aspect of the YakAttack GTSL90 kit is a significant advantage for anyone who values simplicity and efficiency. Each 8-inch track comes pre-drilled with precisely spaced holes, and the necessary mounting hardware is included in the kit. This means you won't need to source individual components or measure and drill mounting holes into the track itself, saving you time and potential frustration.
Installation Process Overview:
- Select Your Location: Choose a flat and sturdy surface on your kayak, paddleboard, or boat where you want to mount the track. Consider accessibility, clearance for accessories, and structural integrity of the mounting surface.
- Mark Pilot Holes: Place the GTSL90 track in the desired position and use a pencil or marker to mark the locations for drilling your pilot holes, aligning with the pre-drilled holes in the track. The hole spacing is a consistent 1-3/4 inches, ensuring even distribution of pressure.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully drill pilot holes into your mounting surface using an appropriate drill bit size for the included hardware. Take care not to over-drill or damage the material. For composite or hollow vessels, consider adding backing plates (not included) for enhanced stability and to prevent pull-through.
- Secure the Track: Align the GTSL90 track with the pilot holes and secure it using the provided hardware. Tighten the screws or bolts evenly until the track is firmly affixed, but avoid over-tightening, which could strip threads or deform the material.
With these simple steps, your YakAttack GTSL90 track will be ready to accept your favorite accessories, providing a rock-solid foundation for all your gear.
Maintaining Your GTSL90 Track for Years of Performance
The high-end polymer used in the YakAttack GTSL90 is inherently low-maintenance, but a few simple practices can ensure its longevity and continued performance:
- Rinse After Use: Especially after saltwater exposure, a quick rinse with fresh water will help remove salt crystals and grime, preventing buildup and preserving the material's finish.
- Mild Soap Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt or stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the polymer.
- Inspect Hardware: Periodically check the mounting hardware for tightness. Vibration from travel or use can sometimes cause screws to loosen over time.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your vessel or gear out of direct, prolonged sunlight if possible, though the GTSL90's UV resistance means it can handle significant exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About the YakAttack GTSL90
- Q: Can I cut the GTSL90 track to a shorter length? A: While technically possible with appropriate tools for cutting polymer, the GTSL90 is designed with pre-drilled holes at 1-3/4" spacing. Cutting it could interfere with these pre-set mounting points or require re-drilling and deburring. For shorter lengths, consider if an 8-inch track is truly too long for your specific need or if a different track product might be more suitable.
- Q: Is the GTSL90 suitable for heavy-duty applications, like mounting a large trolling motor? A: The GTSL90 is designed for light to medium duty applications. While incredibly strong, it's not intended for exceptionally heavy, high-torque, or high-stress items like large trolling motors or substantial anchor winches. For such applications, heavier-duty aluminum tracks or direct mounting solutions would be more appropriate.
- Q: What kind of screws come with the kit? A: The kit includes stainless steel screws, specifically chosen for their corrosion resistance in marine environments. The exact type (e.g., self-tapping, machine screws) will depend on the intended mounting surface, but they are designed for standard installation into typical boat or kayak materials.
- Q: How does the polymer compare to aluminum tracks? A: The advanced polymer of the GTSL90 offers superior corrosion resistance compared to aluminum, especially in saltwater. It also tends to be lighter and can be more forgiving on surfaces it's mounted to. While aluminum tracks can handle heavier loads, the GTSL90's polymer is optimized for durability and specific marine environmental challenges, and for light to medium duty use.
- Q: Where can I purchase additional accessories compatible with the GTSL90? A: A wide range of accessories designed for 1/2-inch wide track systems are available from various manufacturers. For genuine YakAttack accessories and other compatible gear, DEGuns.com is your premier source.
