Us Rapidfire owners are a little reluctant to drill holes in our precious art work.  If you had a Mona Lisa would you drill holes in it to mount it. Ok maybe that was a little overboard but you get the idea.
The Rapid fire gunnel is carbon fiber tube probably with a Styrofoam core. Not much meet to anchor a screw into.  The underside of the gunnel on the inside of the canoe slopes (approximately 45° ) to the side of the canoe.  This is what prevents a conventional clamp on yoke from working.  Some place on the internet I saw a picture of where a piece of wood was cut to match this slope and was glued to the bottom side of the gunnel. I think he used a conventional clamp on yoke but Solus’s setup would also work.  The 2 pieces of wood would be triangular in shape approximately 1 inch by 1 inch and 6 to 8 inches long.
