: John, I haven't got any online pics but I used scrap plywood to
: design a camera box which I epoxied to the underside of the deck
: in the cockpit...it is pentagonal in shape and long enough to
: hold my Cannon with 70-300mm lens attached. I installed it close
: to the riser but would have liked to have set it about 6 inches
: further into the cockpit. It works well for cameras, food and
: anything else that you might wanna keep handy. I also set it up
: to take a water-tight lid which attaches using wing nuts for
: those times when I know I can't use the camera and want to
: protect it from possible immersion. It was attached by flipping
: the kayak over and using thickened epoxy and tapes.

Thanks for the info.
The box you describe is accessed from inside the boat i.e. by opening/popping the spraydeck?
