Now that the R+D is done for the actual boat (hull/deck/seam system), we are able to turn our attention to wrapping up some accessories we have conceptualized and prototyped for the Tyr.

  1. Foam/Cork padding-  We are working on patterns for the foam or cork to add in various places on your boat, for various reasons.
    1. Seat- This is an obvious one-  adding some padding to the seat provides some traction and additional comfort to an amazingly comfortable seat without it.    We also plan on a lumbar support piece that will be available soon.
    2. Gunnels-  Padding on the gunnels provide sound dampening for your paddle and rods, and lowers the temperature of your gunnels in the summer sun.
    3. Active Rod staging area-  padding here provides sound dampening when dropping a rod and paddling, or switching to another rod.    We also have a raised/slotted pad to keep up to 5 rods separated in front of you to keep the lures or rods from tangling.
    4. Reverse Rod Stagers-  You have the option of adding padding here to also provide sound dampening and assure your reels are against a padded surface to prevent scratching of your reels or boat.
    5. Stern Deck- if you want a fully padded deck in the stern- this raised/slotted pad helps keep your stuff dry and in place.

  1. Tailgate- (photos coming soon) this is a carbon fiber/innegra tailgate for your stern to keep your belongings in the boat during steep portages, or big waves over the bow.    For piece of mind that you won’t lose anything out of the back of the boat, it is a great addition.  It attaches in the Power Pole mount and can be used with or without your Power Pole Micro.
  2. Side-Kick Paddle Holder/Drift Control-  this accessory provides an external paddle holder that keeps the blade in the water which acts as a water brake, reducing sideways drift by 50% in the wind.    You can also adjust your blade angle to adjust your drift angle.    It is easy to grab your paddle when standing, or stow it while standing making stand up fishing easier.    A Stake-Out pole holder is also included for shallow water fishing.
  3. Beer Buddy- a carbon fiber accessory to hold your beverages on your seat.   We think you will like it!  It can be located in front, on either side, or behind you depending on your preference.  
  4. Torqeedo Steering/Mounting Kit-

Future Accessories- 

  1. We will create a special tackle bag that got sidetracked this spring, but that will be designed to hold the right amount of gear for a day trip.     This will be a 2021 addition.
  2. Dry bag storage for inside your Tyr Bow hatch.

As these accessories get completed and ready for sale, you will find them on the website with photos and descriptions and prices.   They can be purchased at your local dealer or direct online here.
