CatPhish RMR Angler Tightline Rear Guide Frame
CatPhish Tightline Rear Guide Frame: Row or Motor From One Modular Setup
The Tightline Rear Guide Frame creates the guide position for RMR's CF-140 CatPhish and combines rowing capability, a poly deck and an integrated motor mount in one modular frame section.
