Nice Gary
A great video learned everything I was looking for thanks man
Thanks, good video
Your instructional videos are brilliant for a newbie to the sport like me, thanks.
Very helpful thanks
Fantastic video just got myself the hook2 4 bullet will study the video again when installing
Thank you!!! This has been gathering dust for two years because we couldn't figure out the straps. Thanks for saving our backs!
Good job mate, tight lines.
Excellent review thanks so much. What a walk around, I now know what it can do and hat its the sit-on kayak for me, a tall somewhat heavy person who wants to use it for paddling more than fishing. I need the stability as I want to "lounge" aswell, take in sights, make pictures, etc.
Does this work with down imaging
Hi! I used trifold pop rivets to install handles on my kayak. The first handle went perfectly. When I installed the second handle, the rivet gun didn't break off the rivets. I tried to snap them manually, but they just bent. Then I tried to cut them, and now I'm stuck with sharp little numbs. Help! How do I remove them to start over?
Oh no! Rivets can be a pain sometimes if they don’t break where they should. Chances are the rivet has compressed fully but just snapped up the stem rather than at the base of the stem. I have had this happen occasionally and find it’s best to use a hacksaw to cut the stem level. If you have snipped them off then use a file to smooth off the sharp nub that’s left. Failing that, get a sharp drill bit the same diameter as the hole for the rivet (usually 5mm) and drill out the rivet until it breaks up. If you find the rivet starts spinning as you drill into it, get some pliers to grip the head as you drill into it. Once the rivet has been drilled through and disappeared, then you can start again. Hope this helps!
Great review, many thanks from Kent
Thanks! If you are looking to get hold of a Hobie Kayak in the UK, be sure to contact Cornwall Canoes 😀
What would you recommend for a trolling motor mount that only has 4-6 holes. Thanks for this video BTW
I have just messaged cornwall canoes on their contact page about one. Thanks very informative.
Thanks Scott, glad to have been able to help get you set up with everything 😎 plenty of good times ahead on the water! 🎣
is it ok to lay the battery on it's side cheers
Yeah they are fine on their side. They are fully sealed units.
Awesome informative video especially I have the same kayak. I like how it cuts thru the waves. Still on the fence on the bixpy or 3 hp Tohatsu. Keep it coming .
That round storage area in front of the seat looks like a live bait well. Have seen similar setups and they are always referred to as a live bait well. You can pull the plug to let in water.
How much £ ?
The 2024 RRP on the Profish Reload in the UK is £1499. There are a stack of accessories on this one and it is around a 5K set up
worthless without solder
In what way is it worthless? This very connector is still going strong several years later as part of a battery box (battery gets disconnected from these connectors regularly for charging). A drop of solder will certainly make for a stronger connection at the terminal though, although the crimp seems to be holding fine for me at the moment.
It’s always a good day when there is a new video on your awesome channel! Yay! Thanks for another really informative video. I still need to get a Bixpy setup for my Hobie Revo 13. It gets tricky in these parts (in the US in Maine) as I would need to get my kayak registered like a motorized boat if I want to affix a Bixpy. Seems worth it though, even if I will only be using it every once in a while.
Thanks for the comment! We don’t have the registering issue here in the UK thankfully. Would you mount the Bixpy off the rudder, or go for the ThruHull Pedal Drive Adaptor if you get one for your Revo 13?
@@CornishKayakAngler, I definitely think I will go with the ThruHull adaptor. I recall that it seemed to behave really well on your Revo 16, so I am hopeful that it will be a good addition to my 13. It will be nice to have a backup option when I end up going way too far on the way out and my legs decide they really need a rest….😂. Thanks again! Mac
Liam, hope you are well?? Been looking at the Bixpy for a couple of years, just can't afford one 🙂Not seen one on a Tarpon 140......Yet.
Is that you Nevets? All good here 😎 the Bixpy is a cool piece of kit, albeit expensive. Would make the Tarpon 140 nice and quick! If you have a rudder on your T140 it would be an easy install with one of the Bixpy Rudder Adaptors.
@@CornishKayakAnglerCertainly is buddy🙂 I have been out of yak for at least 2 summers. Hasn't stopped me wetting a line on the Fal though. I think the Bixpy may well become a 2025 yak project for me (wife permitting) 🙂.
perfect!!
Will this setup work with the anchor trolley in any position? Our is it only for the rearward position only? Thank you.
You could position the anchor trolley wherever you wish and use this system, but it is certainly safest to anchor from the stern or the bow to provide the most stability to the kayak at anchor.
@CornishKayakAngler thank you for your response.
Well thought out video saved me scratching head for hours. Tight lines. Cheers fae Bonnie Scotland.
27:15 when I took this unit apart, my black plastics were broken for the bearing. You can buy them separately or just the whole unit as a whole?
You can get the bearings separately from a Hobie dealer (they may have to order them in), although make sure the bearing housing is not worn and causing the bearings to wear away. If the housing is worn then it’s best to get a whole new spine assembly (which includes a full set of bearings)
@@CornishKayakAngler my dealer doesn't want to do this, I did it differently, I bought a rod made of delrin, 6.3 mm in diameter, and cut it to size, that is, 12 mm, so far everything works fine
great content thanks. Brick it is
Great How to Video.
Is it a bit over kill the EBT? If it on the top of the kayak should not have much water going through right?
Better to be safe than sorry when boats, holes and water is involved. Prevention is better than cure and all that 😉
5 x 5 here
I’m here for fun and to learn about geology .
very nice kayak
Thanks, for a really and necessary advice !
Great explanation
How many hours of use can you get from the battery at 1/2 speed? How many Amp Hours is the battery?
Helpful, thanks.
Hi, I see you have used Sikaflex EBT Adhesive to stick on the bow protector, do you know if I can use CT1 instead? Or would that adversely affect the polyethylene of my Hobie kayak?
CT1 would work fine for this too 👍🏻
You have the best videos, congratulations, very detailed. can you tell me the name from this sonar base is thanks
The fish finder is a Lowrance Elite FS 7 and the mount is a Ram Mount Universal Marine Electronics Mount (RAM-111) with a 1.5in Ball Quick Release Track Base (RAP-383). I hope this helps 😊
@@CornishKayakAngler yes thank you so much
Easier said then done not sure I’d do my own without having your knowledge
So my kayak is stored outside , when i take the fish finder off i would be left with the plug in wires , how would i protect from the weather?
You can buy rubber cable connector caps if the fish finder doesn’t have them included. A quick search online will bring them up. Just measure the diameter of your connectors and choose the required size.
How would you know if you did have an air bubble in it, what would show up on the finder?
Yeah it would be quite obvious when using the fish finder in the water. There would be lots of interference on the screen. Micro air bubbles aren’t too much of a concern, but you wouldn’t want a big patch of air sat beneath the transducer. In practice it’s rare to introduce a big air bubble as long as you aren’t rushing the job of applying the sealant/adhesive.
So when you take yr fish finder off when you finished fishing, what happens to the power leads that attach to the fish finder as there open to the weather elliments? Do they have covers for the terminals?
Nice video. Thank you !
I have a SinRad cruse 7 now will the transducer get too hot for that setup
I’m not familiar with that fish finder so I can’t say for sure
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you is not enough. Just got C-Tug today. This video saved me from going insane!
Extra helpful.
