Yea it is, I set the blades a 60 degrees so the blade in the air is in the feathered position, really makes paddling in the wind a lot easier, highly recommend it.

Well got it all put together, and while they allow me to stand up in the canoe, I just dont like the way they feel, takes away from the stealthyness, since they do hit the water when paddling no matter what, more windage, and in the end after standing more I realized I just dont need to that much, s...

Sorry no pics yet still fiddling, getting everything to line up is harder than anticipated, also ended up shortening the length from 6 ft span to 5 ft. span, dont need that much stability just want them as a safety valve for standing up. Definetly some downside, more windage, something for fish line...

I have put the adhesive measuring tape on my paddle handle it s 36" long, just put the paddle in the water next to the boat and pull the fish along side, that way can keep fish in the water, and better insure survival if realease. Also have the Berkley lip gripper with the built in tape measure.

Also decided to make it come apart in two pieces for easy transport, so will cut the tube in half and glue in a solid fiberglass rod in one tube so can slide on the other tube and then bolt on to the gunnels.

Well painted the lobster bouys flourescent yellow, put a bad ass snook graphic on them, and glued the 1/4" carbon rod into each one. Just waiting for the 3/4" six foot long carbon tube, so I can attach the bouys, simply drill a hole in the tube and slide the rods in using s/s donut clamps ...
