The top loading GT175 GearTrac is a heavy duty surface mount track for half-inch track hardware, and accessories can be added or moved mid-track without pulling everything else off. It installs from the top side, so you don’t need inside access to the hull. Stainless #10 thread forming screws are included, and the optional FullBack backing plate adds extra strength.

KayakDIY take: Being able to drop a mount in mid-track without unloading everything else is a real time saver when you’re rearranging on the water. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
