Are you stil using this setup? I saved this video yrsss ago

Listened right up to the wink wink about pfd... You spend all this money on a custom kayak... spend a few dollars on an auto inflation life jacket that is so unnoticeable YOU WILL ACTUALLY WEAR IT. So the authorities don't have to tell your family you will be fine.. Till they find you (wink)

What would you suggest to use when you can't reach under/inside the kayak therefore unable to use bolts and nuts? Thank you

Speedy delivery. Easy installation. Quiet operation. Priced reasonably.

Thank you, huge help!

I have a 1997 Bass Tracker pro team 18 and it came with the fish finder transducer mounted on port side. It's a old hummingbird wide view. I want to put the Garmin striker vivid 7sv with side imaging. Should I put the transducer on the starboard side or does it not matter? It's a Force 40hp. Thanks for the help.

I realize it's been a few years but your motor install still remains the cleanest, most thought-out design I've seen. Questions: 1) Have you ever made a video of your kayak running with the trolling motor for speed and endurance? 2) You mentioned a move after this video to a 55 lb thrust motor. Did you have to make any changes to accommodate it (e.g., battery, modulator)? 3) Are you still a big fan of the MightyMax battery or has something new come to the market that you've installed (or plan to install)? I sold my Big Fish that I originally mentioned due to its weight (I car-top) and got a Hobie Lynx. The motor options are very expensive (Texas Power Paddle, Bixpy via cassett install, Island Hopper) and there's little, if any, performance increase over the Mirage drive. Anyway, I'm again looking at DIY Minn Kota install.

Dude! Yes finally found a good video on this!!! You’re the man. Need to do the same install on my 175

Did you trim the transducer plate?

Thanks for helping me find the screws; the hardest part of the install.

I just used mine last night in a pond first time. mine has no mods at all n it didn't come with a back storage but still was 1k

*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*

can you list out the electric systems stuff with links if you can

I can’t seem to find the screws around the throttle.

$14 PWM device from Amazon $12 watertight box from a local retailer. Custom links wiring, S $18. Super easy installation. No need for $100 plus device

If u added a second fishfinder would there be room in the fuse panel?

One of the sickest kayak mods I've seen on RUclips. You just got yourself a new sub.

What kind of seat do you have and where did you purchase it?

Did you put anything behind the mounting plate or just use the screws?

Hey Wes, love the vids. Is that PWM still working? I read a lot about how they're prone to frying, is it just sealed in a box or is there any cooling system added like a little fan or vent holes? I ordered one and hoping to make it last as long as possible.

Awesome video. Have the same boat and didn't know I could take those sides off. I went yesterday trying to figure out how the hell I was going to get the wires through. And decided to not buy a finder. But now I guess I might. My fuse panel is a little different. My boat is a 2010. Thank you this definitely helped me out.

Loosen the 2 motor screws slightly behind the prop and turn the motor on 25% and turn the motor case until you get the most rpm. Its advancing the timing of the motor. Don't tell your buddy!

Wes where did you buy the 30 amp minnkota plug?

Great Job. Thank You!

Great idea. Thanks for responding.

Hi Wes, Nice set up. Is this motor lift system still working for you? Or have you changed it? Was thinking about this set up so I could keep the motor locked and still have reverse. I fish sometimes where there are underwater stumps (we call it the stick-ups). I like the idea of having no lock on motor in case I hit a stump it will pop up, but then you sacrifice your reverse. Also do you notice any noise from where the carabiner is attached to the motor when you are moving? I have a 30lb Minnkota. No gusset to attach the carabiner, so I may have to wrap the line around the motor itself. Do you think that might work. Appreciate you taking the time for the video and sorry about your other Kayak. Also like the set up with the battery and PWM.

Just bought a pwm from wireless trolling pro, 2 weeks ago and my credit card was accepted. ??? In their website it doesn’t mention their close???

I hear a lot of guys talk about pulse-width modulators but no factual evidence that battery lasting longer videos

The pounds of thrust will not make you go faster. Just gives more thrust to power through current.

What would you call those angled grommets or chase pieces where you ran the foot pedal cable through?

You Cut and patched your kayak rather than cutting and splicing the cable? Really? Lol

😂 so simple! Best motor mount (transom) video on RUclips!!! And now to find a motor...

Just curious how fast you can scoot along. Im not really trying to be a speed demon but I was looking to setup a yak and doing some striper trolling which is roughly 3 mph. I am really digging this 128T and thinking of ordering one before everything is gone never to be seen again for 10 years!!! Or whenever more stock finally shows up.. Thanks

you would be a life saver if you can share the link to that modulator and that fuse box am running a 12 v 46 lbs thrust on my t128, but am trying to change the way i control my motor.

im halfway through my mod and my variable speed switch is not suitable for his project

where can I get the pulse modulator wireless trolling pro you have?

Love this idea thx. I fish the marsh in South Texas and oyster beds are brutal. 😂

Does your graph read at speed

that's freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!

I have a question, I havent seen anyone do this yet and maybe it cant be for some reason,but how come you cant use the yak power stern mount plug instead of a separate trailer plug. I'm wanting to use existing power for the 30 thrust. Feel free to call and discuss 405 202 5522

You think this setup is gator proof? I’m comfortable being around them but always good to be safe.

Can I fly you to where I live and have you do this to my kayak? Lol I have a feeling if I attempt to put a trolling motor on my kayak, first start in the water I’ll shock myself lol

How heavy is your rig? Could you drag it across 50yards of grass into a lake?

Which “L” brackets are those?

Turn the phone sideways when you film brother.

Hey Wes, im trying to find similar pulleys you've got hooked up on the trolling motor bracket to lift it but im having a hard time locating some. Any chance you can hit me up with a name or link to where you got them from? By the way, you've done a great job with the yak. i picked myself up a slightly older model recently that I'm trying to build similarly.

lmao loved the ending, this is genius thought thank you !

Great install! How has it been working? Any damage being so low? I’m about to install mine and have no idea where. I see so many different ways. Up top where the cheap factory Lowrance came or down where you have yours. What’s the difference? Thank you and great video

Sick! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to build my own..

Does the PWM come already with the speed control switch?
