Frequently Asked Questions
What is Current Forge and who makes these products?
Current Forge is a small-batch maker brand building practical rigging and control parts for motorized fishing setups. Every product is designed, prototyped, and field-tested by the founder on a real kayak before it ships to a customer.
What material are these products made from?
All Current Forge housings and mounts are printed in PETG, an outdoor-rated thermoplastic with better UV, heat, and impact resistance than standard PLA. It's the right material for a cockpit environment where parts see sun, spray, and vibration on every trip.
Are these products waterproof?
No. Current Forge products are designed to handle cockpit splash and light spray in normal kayak use. They are not submersible and should not be submerged. Inspect parts before each trip and keep electrical connections protected with appropriate marine-rated connectors and heat shrink.
Will these hold up in the sun?
PETG handles UV exposure better than PLA and is appropriate for outdoor use. Like any plastic component on a kayak, prolonged direct UV exposure over time will cause gradual degradation. Inspect parts seasonally and store out of direct sun when not in use.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns within 30 days of delivery on unused, uninstalled products in original condition. Products that show signs of installation, modification, or use are not eligible for return. If your product arrives defective or incorrect, contact us and we will make it right.
My product arrived damaged or with a defect. What do I do?
Contact us directly with a photo of the issue. Defective or incorrectly shipped products will be replaced at no cost to you.
Do you offer installation support?
Yes. Every product ships with a printed install reference card. Full install guides are available on the product page. If you run into something the guide doesn't cover, contact us and we'll help you work through it.
What's actually in the box?
The printed PETG cradle mount and track hardware pack.
What does the cradle mount attach to?
It slides into a standard kayak track system and locks into position with the included hardware. No drilling required. Not compatible with round rail systems or surfaces without a track slot.
Will it fit my kayak's track system?
Compatible with most kayak track systems. If you're unsure whether your track is compatible, measure your T-slot width and contact us before ordering.
Does the controller stay secure in the cradle while paddling?
Yes. The cradle is designed to hold the housing snugly through normal paddling, chop, and rod movement. It is not a locking retention system, so in very aggressive conditions you may want to add a tether as a backup.
Can I reposition it on the water?
Yes. Loosen the track knob, slide to your preferred position, and retighten. No tools required for repositioning.
Does this fit other controller housings or just Current Forge products?
It is designed and sized specifically for Current Forge Handheld Remote Speed Controller housings. Fit on third-party housings is not guaranteed.
Do I need this mount to use the controller?
No. The cradle mount is optional. It is included with the Complete Kit and sold separately for Housing and Parts Kit buyers who want a hands-free track mounting solution.
