$450.00

The Ridge Spirit Outfitting OC1 Bulkhead Saddle is designed to give the paddler a solid yet comfortable connection to their canoe.  Our saddle is ideal for paddlers ranging in skill from Class II+ weekend warriors all the way up to Class V dirtbags who get 180+ days of paddling in each year.

Features include:

  • 2 pound density closed cell foam construction (charcoal color)
  • 8 inch seat width
  • 9 ¼ inch seat height (8 ¼ inches for shallower canoes)
  • 8 inch deep thigh hooks (6 inches for shallower canoes)
  • Yakima-style adjustable foot braces countersunk into the saddle
  • Two HDPE floating thwart dowels that will never rot
  • Channels cut to countersink thwarts into the saddle
  • Square pass-thru for water transfer and pump placement
  • ¼ inch of Minicel under pass-thru to reduce stress riser on the hull
  • Pre-drilled holes for bilge hose and wiring for the pump kit
  • Drain hole in crotch to reduce water collecting in lap
  • Mounting point for battery on rear of saddle
  • 1 inch thick knee pads

All saddles will require carving to fit the paddler, and may require trimming of the outside edges of the thigh hooks to fit the canoe.
