Old Town PDL Drive Mount for Safe Transport – Drive with PDL in

I wanted to be able to transport my Old Town PDL 106 (works with PDL 120 as well) kayak with the pedal drive in place because I dont have space in my trunk for it with my other fishing gear and I dont want to put it in the backseat where it could puncture my pleather.
I used a blank template and started jig sawing out a hole for the PDL fin and drive housing and ended up with a very secure mount for the PDL drive that spreads out the support and prevents staining the mount arms when driving and hitting bumps while trailoring.
