    Default War Eagle 961 Blackhawk T-Rail Desogn Question


    On my boat… the T-Rail doesn’t look right (to me). Not quite like what I’ve seen on other War Eagle models. The rail face itself is vertical (I think basically at 90 degrees to the top of the gunnel). Right at the top of the rail…the gunnel sticks out over track. I don't see how this configuration would work with any of the T-Rail accessories. Am I missing something? Not quite sure how to deal with that lip on the gunnel. I'm wanting to mount a FishingSpecialties Bowducer for Livescope on something that would go in the T-Rail. I don't see how that will work. Have a look at these pictures. Looking for ideas, comments or examples. Thanks in advance.

    I have a 2019 War Eagle 542 that has the 45 Degree T-Rail.. Looks like yours is the 90 Degree... ??

    That does limit the accessories you can use. Looks like they should have either gone with a 45 degree track or made the 90 flush like Lund’s versatrack system.

    Im of the opinion there are several locations in the slot for inserting things like say the head of a bolt, if not create one.
    A bolt or 2 could then be slid to the desired location for attaching things, even a short section of aluminum angle bought at a place like Home Depot. You might even find you can attach other things to the angle iorn. Like rod holders for example.
    Another option would be to find a "very good" welding/fabricating shop and let them solve your problem.
    Take a good look at Richard Genes boat with the idea to determine how you would best install rod holders for trolling.
    I can tell you how, take it to a good welder.
    Richard dosent use rod holders, and quite obviously he didn't do that when he raised the transom hgt. lol

    You can buy the different mounting brackets from WarEagle for your T-rail or you could have a machine shop make you some.
