A local NZ Kayak specialist retailer, Fergs Kayaks ( Auckland ), recently asked for some ideas on setting up a new kayak they have in store.  We sent our kayak fishing specialist Jason Milne (aka Paddle Guy) down to the store to give them some direction on fitting RAILBLAZA to the Wilderness Tarpon 120 Ultralite.

The Tarpon 120 Ultralite is a thermo formed ABS plastic version of the popular Tarpon 120 kayaks. The rotomolded Tarpon 120 weighs 29kgs the Ultralite weighs only 20kgs! making it a great option for anyone looking for a small lightweight kayak for all round use.

The Tarpon 120 deck configuration lends itself very well to the RAILBLAZA system when considering fit out, including our new Trac Mount fitting kit, which is suited perfectly for the Harmony Trac system that is a key feature of the  Wilderness kayaks.

As this kayak was to be a display model for sale , we chose just a few key mounts and accessories to get the kayak started, leaving plenty of room for the new owner to customize it further if required.

For this set up we fitted a surface mounted StarPort and a recess mounted StarPort to the cockpit area. For the rear of the paddler we fitted a couple of SidePort mounts to the tank well walls. All of these mounts allow for a variety of our accessories to be used depending on the situation.

See below images and list of links to each of the RAILBLAZA products used in this set up…
