Are you expecting Floods ...lol, A mate of
mine has a K&N Dual Caddy on his Troopy, he has modified the left side bracket to fit a Generator so you should have no problems having some type of fixture that you can attach the outboard to, might need to have some means of adding a pad-lock as
well .

You should be able to make a "bracket" yourself, out of plywood.
The Kaymar carrier would already have a steel "hub" that you would normally bolt your second wheel to.
Cut square pieces of 12mm plywood wide enough to be a little bigger than the spacing between the outboard clamps.
Glue about 3 pieces together to provide some width and strength and bolt the plywood assembly to the steel hub.
The outboard can be placed over the plywood section, clamped in a normal fashion, then the clamp handles padlocked together to stop removal.
Marine ply and waterproof glue would be best then a coating of clear marine vanish to seal the ply. It should last for years mate.
