Thank you for viewing.

Thank you for the comment. I watched all your videos on the AutoBoat and when I ordered mine and installed it on my kayak the whole process was a breeze. I don't understand why a lot of people still spend thousand of dollars on other kayak motors when in my opinion the AutoBoat is the best. For half the money it does everything that the others do and more. The spot lock and navigate mode are the best upgrades you can find. I fish a lot of Kayak Bass tournaments and when fishing a bank line I click the Navigate button and fish away. It makes it so easy to fish and not worry about anything else. I just returned from Lake Guntersville for a two day tournament and two days of practice and AutoBoat worked like a charm. Can't wait for the new Smart Head to come out.

Thank you

I have updated the mount since this video but still continuing to make it better. I posted another video since this one that has the new mount.

This video contains a review of the kayak and fishing out of it to show how the kayak is on water. I have done a few more reviews since this video if you would like to view those videos. ruclips.net/video/-wKqp3NjIOA/видео.html

@@AutographsTTM I have not bought one yet. I was thinking of making my own.

Very happy with it. It is very accurate. Wife and daughter both use it and hit their mark everytime.

NVM commented too soon

It’s basically a V with pontoons in both sides. Very stable. I can stand all day and fish with no problems.

@@bigtoutdoors nice. Looked like you could fit scupper mounted transducer in there

@@cm7032004 Yes there is. I run a Lowrance HDS Live and there is a slot for the transducer through a scupper hole and has a protective cover over it. Very great design.

@@tombosanko3085 it’s actually pretty strong

I got them from Amazon. here is the link. www.amazon.com/dp/B0BMG4CRDY/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0BMG4CRDY&pd_rd_w=dkoxL&content-id=amzn1.sym.8c2f9165-8e93-42a1-8313-73d3809141a2&pf_rd_p=8c2f9165-8e93-42a1-8313-73d3809141a2&pf_rd_r=NSH5J4XVV16D7EE09SFV&pd_rd_wg=fiJNh&pd_rd_r=048252d8-6b1c-413e-810f-afddb53dae32&s=industrial&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw

@@bigtoutdoors Thanks.

Yes you can remove the pedals pretty easy, I have done it many times when the grass is on the prop. It does come with a foam piece to place in the hole for the pedals and does fit tight.

It is my fence not the neighbors and I was only a few yards away and had hay bails behind the deer. I have moved the target now and is pointing down to the lake.

I am going to do a 6 month review on it and am including the rails as part of it. I do agree with the seat rail.

I have not taken them apart yet but yes I believe they are plastic. Parts are readily available both Riot kayak and Vibe pedal paddleboards take the same pedal drive.

@@bigtoutdoors OK, Thanks. 👍❤️😊

Glad you like it. How is your steering.

Thank you for the kind words. I base my channel on DYI projects and my bank account can't afford the high end products so here we are. I will have a follow up coming soon on the Magellan and some new DYI projects on it and my other kayak. Thanks for being a sub.

@@Eco.boost2.7 I did get mine for $900

@@bigtoutdoors that’s a good deal!

the voyager doesn’t have a rudder

@@Eco.boost2.7 I got mine for $900 also

@@cas62d23 sorry for the music it was an editing mistake but you can used closed caption for the words

I know there is a hole on the pedal drive where you can lube it. I would try that first. It isn’t the smoothest pedal drive but it works and is fast. Out of all the videos I have watched on the riot kayaks there was hardly any negative comments on the drive itself. Vibe even uses the same drive for their pedal boards.

sorry for your loss bro. im researching for this service on the exact engine. who knows how many summers the old force has left, i dont want to ruin it

I managed to get the pin back in but now it only goes in forward, did you figure out anything Jacob ?

From my experience is basically he had you unscrew an important bolt that goes into the drive shaft of the outboard and needs to aligned perfectly to run properly. If you put it back in and it doesn't work that tells me it is now out of alignment. meaning you're going to have to take off the entire lower assembly to align it.

I know there is a hole where you can oil or grease it. You might try that. I have not had any problems with mine. IF that does not work then I would take back to Academy or contact the manufacture.

I am glad I could help out. Yes you did get a great deal, hope you enjoy it and yes I will be doing another review for some new mods and other things that I have found that could help out others that are buying the kayak. Let me know how your steering works. This is what I am working on now to help it turn better.

I thought so too but got caught in a rain storm the other day and glad I did not put any holes in the box. So far the fan PWM seems to be working great with no overheating.

I thought the same thing but watch a few videos on it and they all said the same thing that it works and keeps the board cool. I did go to a white box instead of black. I spent a couple of days in 95+ and no problems with overheating. I think the fan is the key here in Florida but time will tell.

I also have an Ascend and do like it a lot. It is longer so more room but for all the options on the Magellan you can't beat it.

It is a great kayak and I have no problem standing and fishing out of it. I am 6"3 200. They could improve a few things on it but I think every kayak has a few things to improve.

@bigtoutdoors how about the steering is it rough or smooth?

Right after that I caught a 6.5

The pedal drive is great its the rudder I am not a friend of. Will be replacing it with a bigger rudder.

@@bigtoutdoors pretty fast? I have a pedal kayak I recently bought, but it’s with the fins and not a prop. It isn’t easy to pedal. Lots of resistance so that’s why I’m looking at this one

If you look at a Riot Kayak and the new Magellan they use the same products. The rudder and the controller for the rudder are identical and also the seat is the same. If you watch Riot Kayak videos on YT you will see the similarity. When I filled out my registration for the kayak the email came back from the company called Kayak Distribution. "We manufacture the brands Riot Kayaks, Riot Paddle boards, Boreal Design, Beluga Outdoor Gear". Straight from their website. Maybe Dagger made them prior to this year.

@@bigtoutdoors absolutely that's possible! Looking at what was on the video and Riot...that's definitely a Dagger. The drive, design, etc. is all different on the video from Riot. What I find to be so crazy is I live along the Gulf Coast. The Pensacola Academy never has Magellan pedal kayaks out...all Pelican and Pelican-owned brands. Frankly,, I am waiting for Pelican to buy out Riot, P&H Sea Kayaks (makers of Quest), and Hoodoo. Pelican has been on a buying frenzy lately.

Thanks for the comment.

After I put my storage crate in there is no room for a dog. If I didn't have a storage crate then I think you would have enough room for a small dog.

Thanks will be doing a 3 month review for a few more things I have found.

What is the pivot pin do? What do you mean by stay in place?

Surprisingly very good. I stand up a lot and no fear of tipping over.

I'm having the same problem, but the rest of the Kayak is great so trying some different things to help the steering will post an update to help others out.

@bigtoutdoors Please let us know what you do. I really like the kayak overall and I don't want to go through the hassle of returning it. I will also try to take it out on the water again.

@@miguellozano1150 I had adjusted the cables but have not taken it back out yet. Will Update as soon as I get it in the water

@@bigtoutdoorsany updates?

Could the transducer port on bottom be causing that drag? Between reading that on reviews and that it has flimsy spots, I cancelled my order..... Any truth to the flimsy spots??

I have not had that problem yet with mine, have had it out quit a few times. Hopefully yours was just a fluke. I do think to make it better you have to do some modifications to it but can't beat the price if you like to tinker like I do.

How is the steering on yours. Mine does not turn like it should I am messing around with the cables now to see if that was it.

@@bigtoutdoors The steering is a little tough if you want to steer it all the way left or right. You kind of have to force it. Lmk if you find a way to make it smoother.

About to pick mine up today would love to know if yall figured out the steering problem

@@DerrickLeeM I did tighten up the cables at the rudder and it seemed to help out. I am getting use to the pedals now vs my trolling motor in other kayak. I’m on the fence for replacing the rudder with a wider rudder or just going trolling motor

How fast is it and is there a lot of resistance when pedaling?

Thank you for the positive comment

Thanks for the comment I will adjust my seat next time out.
