I own a Sevylor Colorado. It does not have foot pegs so I am constantly sliding down the seat. I fed a strap through a piece of 2" diameter 12" long PVC and connected the ends to D rings mounted on the gunnels. Works well.

Those are some really great ideas. I like to watch your vids because you come up with nice hacks that I hadn’t even thought about. What I use whenever I’m in water too shallow to use an anchor but don’t want to float away from my spot, I stick my mud stick through a pvc pipe that has larger coupler glued to it so as to not fry my scupper hole. So that way the current and/or wind pushes the stick onto the pipe not the scupper wall itself. I make it to where it just barely sticks out the bottom so it clears the whole scupper area. Works like a charm and no issues to report to date.

Always Luv your ideas and vids. I've used nylon window screen for a few things. Cut it to size, edge it with cloth tape(both sides), poke a few holes with a hot Phillips head to attach zip-ties and you'll have a self-draining shelf for under your seat frame.
Keep up the great work!
