Upgrading to Ketch Products' aluminum OT-1 T-tracks for Old Town Kayaks* offers significant advantages over the standard plastic tracks. The 6061 aluminum one-piece construction provides superior strength and stability, making it ideal for heavy-duty rigging and trolling applications. These direct bolt-on replacements utilize existing hardware and require no drilling, ensuring a seamless and straightforward installation process. By upgrading to these aluminum tracks, kayak anglers can enjoy increased durability, reduced flexing under force, and improved overall performance for mounting accessories like rod holders and fish finders.
